A large part of these fruits and veggies are so that we can have tomatoes and peachs yearround-without regard to season.<br /><br />In recent years I've tried to become an American-avore. I almost always forego the imported summer fruits and veggies all winter. I can't find an American source for bananas and pineapple yet, and most of the mushrooms our store carries are from Canada now.<br /><br />Ag is not only the foundation of our society but also of our economy. Without food all other segments of our economy will come to a halt.Lori Annenoreply@blogger.com
