Who's gonna pick the strawberries?

The same thing that picks the wheat and corn.

MACHINES.

I've never seen a strawberry picking machine before.

Great the seed companies can develop strawberries as tough as corn or wheat, no trouble, but how are you gonna get people to eat them?

Strawberries ten years ago tasted much better, but spoiled quicker and were more susceptible to diseases than the strawberries commonly available today.

Since the current strawberries already taste really bland, they might as well generate an "improved" type as resistant to bruises as apples and oranges. (I hope not!)


I wonder, if Cal-OSHA can enforce their labor regulations on farms, why can't the INS/CIS/etc. or Border Patrol enforce immigration law as well?
