Editorial

Who knew that cantaloupes could be the cause of 18 deaths and 100 illnesses in 20 states? Listeria is a type of bacteria normally found in processed meats and sometimes it is found in unpasteurized cheeses and milk, but it is rarely found in foods like cantaloupe. The recent listeria outbreak has spread throughout the country from Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo., after the farm re- called their cantaloupe on Sept. 14. Because the cantaloupe from Jensen Farms have trav- eled around the country to states other than the original 28 they sell to, more people have become sick. In a conference call on Sept. 28, Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control, said, “this is the deadliest outbreak of a foodborne disease that we’ve identified in more than a de- cade.” Time magazine reported, “the company said last week that it can’t provide a list of re- tailers that sold the tainted fruit because the melons were sold and resold.” Congress passed a law in 2010 in food safety that allows the Food and Drug Administra- tion to improve the traceability of foods to easily detect if an outbreak exists.

The good news is that readers will see advice from sports editor Tyler Alley and editor-in-chief Chris Derrett, who are both 4-0 in the Lariat Super League, as well as pho- to editor Matt Hellman, who is 3-1. The bad news is readers will also receive “advice” from A&E editor Joshua Madden, who is 0-4.

Q: For players with Andre John- son on their fantasy team, who is a good dark horse receiver to pick up during his injury?

A: I’d take a look at Victor Cruz. He had a huge game two weeks ago in the Giants’ blowout of the Eagles and had another solid game last Meagan Downing | Lariat staff week at Arizona. He could have big games against Seattle this week and No. 10 quarterback Robert Griffin III breaks away from Rice for a touchdown on Sept. 24 at Floyd Casey Stadium. Baylor beat Rice 56-31.
