“I love oranges! And they’re still ‘Made In America’!”

Don’t count on it. Ever since Anita Bryant spoke out against the homosexual agenda and the American citrus growers dropped her, bad things have been happening to the American orange groves (like frost) and more and more oranges come from South America, a place that may or may not be more hygienic than China.

When I shop, I look to see where my produce comes from.

Bananas I can’t get from America, but oranges I have no problem.

So far.

That's why if the citrus isn't from my own backyard I insist on it being labeled as 100% Florida orange juice.

As an interesting side note on an unrelated topic, I remember seeing orange groves throughout central Florida and know there were orange groves in north Florida. Now, if you really want to see the groves you need to go to south Florida. Hard freezes helped push the groves south. So much for global warming.

Yep the sure gave the Robert Bork treatment to Anita. I was shocked at how Americans laughed at her and her pie-in-the-face treatment from the pervs. Anita had feet of clay like us all but...she also put principles above her career. The orange growers should still be ashamed of themselves.
