I guess I’m living in the past, when we largely only had things in local season. (And all of it was a lot better, too - you could still get supermarket tomatoes as good as from a farm stand.)

And don’t get me started on what they’ve done to meats :-)

Well, I can’t resist:

Granted that you have to have the means.

Most times, the unshucked corn on the cob from WalMart has been pretty good, the last few years. Tomatoes are a different story.

I was discussing catfish, last month, which illustrates your point regarding “meats”, well. The industry (selling catfish) laments having done poorly, but, I think they mostly blame the wrong reasons...

Butting in. I agree 100%. Eating seasonally is HUGE with me, though of course I CAN eat things out of season as I CAN them when they're IN season...and cheaper! ;) I can't stand the cost and wasted resources of Strawberries in February in Wisconsin. Come on, People! Finishing up the Rhubarb and Asparagus at our house - Strawberries are on deck next, but need to ripen.
