Although I try to avoid buying produce from Mexico, it’s hard these days to find an American tomato. At some supermarkets, all of the tomatoes are from Mexico. That’s even the case in upscale specialty stores such as Whole Foods. If they’re not from Mexico, they’re often from Canada or Holland.

Why do you have to go to a farmer’s market to find an American tomato? One would think that the climate and soil in much of this country would be ideal for growing these fruits.

I guess it comes down to grow your own but we should not have to! What a damn joke.
