Marie and all,
There are certainly parts of the system that are screwed up
and big time. Misallocating energy resources to ship food
cross country may be one of them. But maybe not...
The free enterprise part of selling across state lines
is one of the things which makes the US a great place
to live.
If local NJ peaches can't hold their own against California
peaches, either the product or the marketing of the product
is deficient. A good local product has a much better story
to tell than an import when it is handled correctly.
