As long as we don't become dependent on Mexico and South America for our food......
Too late! Here in central Texas, in the winter, most of our produce is from Mex or SA.
I was in the grocery store on Christmas Eve buying stocking stuffers, and I also bought apples and oranges. The young girl who was the checker asked if I wanted the stocking stuffers in a seperate bag from the fruit, and I explained the fruit was for stockings too. "I wonder why people put fruit in stockings? That's so weird," she said. I had to explain to her that I did it out of tradition, and that at one time, fresh fruit in the dead of winter, at Christmas, was a real treat because it was out of season. She looked at me like I was from Pluto.
