I was just at Roche Brothers in Burlington, MA. Peruvian Mineolas and large South African Navel Oranges were both $1.99/lb.

And lock your car doors in the summer or you will find your back seat full of zucchini.

"
Theres more free and cheap food on this planet than anyone realizes." Yep, like the $1.99 special at KFC of chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, coleslaw and roll.

Actually mine says Florida and/or Brazil. Probably about the same thing. I believe that US producers of fruits and vegetables have taken some hits lately and we have the where with all to still bring it to the table. If the price is more than you want to pay or the quality doesn't suit you, don't buy it. People lived without fresh squeezed, organically grown, ethnically sensitively handled food forever.

I'm not sure whether he is truly a simple idiot like the 'Rats claim or he has terrible advisers who are rotten to the core...sorta like Lindsey Graham--"Republican by Day, Democrat by Night."

A lot of this is due to fuel prices.With all due respect, it is due to your federal government's insistence that what was formerly food is now to be used as fuel. - even though there are plenty of sources of traditional fuel, and nuclear power available to take off the pressure.
Idiots.

Hillery Clinton can hardly wait to pile drive the economy into the toilet and blame it on the Capitalists.

In Great Falls, Vienna, McLean, and North Arlington, $800K to $1 Million is a single-family home. Well, maybe a townhouse or condo in Arlington.
Either way, the price of housing in this area is insane to the point that folks in the $30K-$70K income bracket are shut out in most places, unless of course they are "undocumented," in which case they basically own the subsidized housing.

Make Hay While The Sun Shines and all that.
Just the other day I was talking to a farmer harvesting his alfalfa. He figured for the next few years he might do okay - as everyone else in the area is switching over to corn, and he’ll stick with hay as it will be in short supply. (Until the corn growers realize there is a market in hay....). But, he also mentioned the subsidies, so there is another “unnatural” incentive to get into/ stay in corn.

one of my retired-union neighbors thinks just exactly that way.
she seizes on every negative bit of news about the economy,
hates u.s. corporations,
and believes that the end is near for capitalism.
i don’t get it. the wsj is positive about the economy.

I was surprised that there was no corn on any menu in Ocean City, MD, last week. The corn crop on the Eastern Shore is in VERY bad, and I mean SERIOUSLY bad shape. Sweet corn can be had, but it is a premium price. I about choked paying $5 a dozen for sweet corn about 3 weeks ago. Those prices, because it is scarce probably accounts for the scarcity of it on restaurant menus.
