jean-claude . Just interested by the insanity of the present food distribution system that makes , for example, bought newzealand apples , cheaper than to pay somebody to harvest the ones hanging in the trees here. The apples you get today from New Zealand are 6 months old. The New Zealand summer is our winter. They have been kept in cold storage or in wax as a preservative. I have a friend that is a Trucker. He has told me some of the things he has moved around the country. He actually took California Oranges to Florida and on the return trip brought Florida oranges to California. Go figure. Micaela
