Are you afraid of melons? [Results]

In the produce section of the Schnucks grocery store in Columbia, Mo., the store posted a statement about the watermelon recall on a box of non-recalled watermelons.

Last week we asked you two simple questions: are you avoiding cantaloupes or melons?

It all started with an Indiana Farm that issued a voluntary recall of cantaloupe and watermelons because of a Salmonella outbreak that killed two and sickened 204.  The results are in and the majority of you are melon-wary these days.  However, we'll admit that our sample size was pretty small and hardly scientific.  Interpret the answers from our 15 respondents how you will.
