You're right about that, but we should if we can. It just makes more
sense. Us people in mild climates should practice eating what's in
season and grown in the USA... although, I must admit that I don't
care when my mid-winter blueberries come from Chile - I'm just glad to
have them for a precious few weeks. I told my husband that the
growing season is so short for them that I'm satisfied with a couple
of weeks twice a year. Now, if they could do that with apricots...
