Which is why whenever possible I buy native grown produce.

Me, too.

I prefer some fruit to be organic. When I saw some organically grown fruit from a South American country in the grocery store, I agonized over whether to get it or not.

I respect what you are saying. I am also caught in a quandary. Living in Panama, I’ll purchase foods from South America to include fresh mushrooms from Colombia. I have no problem with that. On the other hand, a few days ago, I purchased some enoki mushrooms without checking the label. When I got home, I saw they were a Green Giant product. It didn’t say from where the mushrooms originated. I read up on these mushrooms and concluded they were from somewhere in the “Far East” and then packaged in the States by Green Giant. I immediately fed the mushrooms to “GRRR” (the name of my garbage disposal).
