And then there's the flurry of panic as many of the tomatoes that American consumers take for granted every day suddenly disappear - from McDonald's hamburgers; from the salsa at Chipotle Mexican Grill; from Burger King, Taco Bell and Sonic; and from the grocery shelves at Kroger, Wal-Mart and Target.
