No wonder -- it's out of control eh????
Having the USDA and Commerce promoting US farm products is corporate welfare, but we can't seem to kill it because of the lobbyists. We shop at specialty food shops because the produce shipped in from CA at the big supermarkets will go rotten if you don't eat it in the parking lot.
