It seems sad to me that there are people starving out there, and yet their produce is being shipped here to us (where we throw way too much of it out). Michael always checks labels, and if it was grown somewhere that far away, he just refuses to buy it, because he knows that it won't taste good, in order for it to travel that far, they have to pick it green, store it in gas chambers to keep it green and then force the ripening with more gases. i don't think he's ever been concerned about the carbon footprint aspect of it...he just lets the taste make the decision for him. granted, for him it is also about supporting his customers by buying their product, he also checks labels and chooses the stuff he's helped haul.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17123255156101713716noreply@blogger.com
