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?

I'm sorry if my answer appeared that way, that was not my intention.

Well I can only relate as to what I have out here, We do have grapes from Chilie, but great citrus from Florida and Texas. Who knows? Maybe they move this stuff all over to keep the truckers unions happy.
