>>Do they think we’ve forgotten how to grow vegetables in the rest of the country?
Worse than that. They seem to think that vegetables can’t be grown in the rest of the country. Of course, they think that car exhausts and cow farts will cause the planet to be flooded just before it bursts into flame.
Where is a reason New Jersey is named the Garden State.
Veggies are grown in Cali because it is cheaper to grow them there. Cali gets LOTS of free water from the other western States. Take that free water away and Cali will not grow squat. South Cali will revert back to the desert it really is.
