Lets go waaaay OT.Mexican Produce. With the improvements in the Mexican highway system,moving produce has gotten easier.HUGE expansion in their farms.

Friend says MEXICO,YUCK! But,look at Mexican farms,cant tell the difference from from ours,same equipment,same methods,same roads,same tractors and Semi's...looks like central California when you drive by.I mean REALLY looks the same.

Only possible gripe I have,is do they use banned pesticides? And if they do,does that mean OUR pesticides are somehow better,or just havent gone thru the eventual cycle that bans all organophosphate pesticides eventually?

How about those picking the crops,are they sanitary 'down there' What?,like they come HERE to harvest our crops,are they suddenly stupid when they do it at home?Or that Mexican farmers have some desire to produce contaminated harvests?

So I eat Mexican produce as well as US.Mass produced is pretty much mass produced,here or there.My local store is LOADED with products from everywhere,only total blacklist is China,those guys are nuts,kill you for pennies it seems,and not care.Would you like melamine with that product?

Again,we pick our comfort levels.

Agreed....

I liked the plate also Carl

Also enjoyed all the conversation on foods and where it comes from. My comes from Safeway or Sobeys I don't know where they get it from. I do know when juicing I really wash everything and have noticed a scum on the water not dirt.

Today I found they fella close by, going to start buying what I can from him

I live less than 200 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and it really irritates me to see that most, if not all,  the frozen seafood in the stores is imported from Vietnam,  Indonesia,  Argentina,  etc.  I don't,  like  to buy imported seafood  but it is getting increasingly difficult to find US seafood.  The US commercial fishing,  etc. industry is an extremely endangered venture.  So sad.
