True,
sugar can be produced cheaper in other parts of the world. It is also seeing increased demand in other parts of the world.. China, India, etc. Why should these countries be interested in supplying the US now when we've had these crazy protectionist policies in place for decades. With the world facing looming food crises, I really hate to see agricultural land go out of production with no real plan for replacement.On Florida will buy out sugar company to restore Everglades posted 1 year, 5 months ago 9 Responses

I think the key point is that these are raw, fresh tomatoes transported through a long supply chain. Another argument for buying local produce from someone you can know and trust.

Canned tomatoes from a local company you can know and trust.On Tomato salmonella scare hits the big time posted 1 year, 5 months ago 13 Responses
