What I find odd is that nobody talks about the " healthy fresh food" in our stores being produced from countries who have NOT banned the officially designated dangerous pesticides.

Probably due to the EPA, FDA, and all the other alphabet soup agencies that keep banning perfectly safe chemicals and pesticides in this country using junk science. Remember Alar? It's OK, but Merill Streep is an expert,I guess. ("What are we doing to our Children!!!?!?!) How many Alar deaths have occured in this Country?

I am not an expert on farm subsidies, but would someone please tell me why "safe" US produced foodstuffs are sent to starving countries and I cant find a fresh vegatable in my local grocery store made in the USA?

Probably for the almighty dollar. Could be time of the year. Living in CA, there is plenty of US produce.

I am not trying to be flip-I really would like someone to give me the short true answer to this question.

I tried! And as far as I know, it's the truth!

Yeah right, better living through chemistry.

I pointed out I was not trying to be flip.I live in Florida.There is definately not "plenty" of US produce in the chain grocery stores.Yes, I can find some if I go to health food stores,but not at the big stores.

Obviously something strange is going on when a store sells foreign "fresh" produce and US produced produce is hard to find.I dont buy from roadside stands, when there are no farms in sight!Who knows where that stuff came from. At least they are required to label foreign produce here.Do they do that in your state?
