Are bananas “American made”?


Mendocino county is called the banana belt. I wonder if there’s enough to export to all California kids though.

Until California kicks out illegals, there will not be enough water for farmers. Too many people, too many with no right to be in the state or in the US. Remove them and there might be enough water for everyone.

Not really. Water is mostly used by agriculture and business in California. Not for personal use.

Actually I think a fair amount of food comes from Mexico and some from Canada.

budget for and purchase American-made foods unless they are more than 25% of the cost of imported ones.

As i read that sentence, you would have to be able to buy 4 American lunches for the price of 1 Non-American lunch in order to comply. Is that what the actual deal is?

> ...purchase American-made foods unless they are more than 25% of the cost of imported ones.

I hope that’s just written poorly.

IF:
American bananas: $.26 each
Imported bananas: $1.00 each
American bananas are 26% the cost of imported bananas.

This is all “honor system”, so pretty much voluntary, so I guess it really doesn’t matter.

I’m hoping they mean American food can’t be over 25% more expensive than imported food.

Maybe he could pay Florida to ship their rain water to California.

Have you seen the gawd awful, so-called lunches they serve the children here in Cali? The NEA and the AFT should be arrested and charged with abuse.

I wouldn’t allow my kids to eat a bite of it.
