Worst… photo…. ever!
The Associated Press actually used this photo on a story about the Salmonella scare:
Guanabee.com noticed it too, and it is kind of funny to see Manuel Uribe (who you have to admire for trying to live a normal life) with those tomatoes, but — living in Sinaloa, where if it wasn’t for tomato exports, our local farmers would be having to grow still more marijuana for the U.S. market — it can make you a little testy to see a disaster to our local economy being used for a cheap joke. Anyway, if Sinaloa tomatoes made people sick, why didn’t Sinaloa marijuana?
Not being a Mexican, and not overweight (just the opposite, I need to gain a couple kilos), I can’t say… but is this just a cheap insult at Uribe’s expense (who knows damn well he’s really, really fat — and deals with it), or not so hidden racism… or just bone-headed? Do tomatoes make you fat?
