I am in a predicament: I love citrus fruits and especially clementines that fill my home with the fragrance and anticipation of the holidays right at the fold between fall and winter. But I also try to buy local fruits and vegetables when I have a chance. This year most of the clementines were from afar and these blew my mind completely - all the way from Australia!
I've had this same sticker shock from apples. Washington is the "Apple State," yet we have Granny Smith apples that come all the way from New Zealand!! Why??
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that it makes sense economically yet somehow it happens...
