It Ain't a Mirage

Posted by Nathalie Jordi, January 24, 2007

It's always perplexed me to watch Florida, that perma-tropic state, import its strawberries from Mexico, lemons from Seville, and oranges--I kid you not--from California, when all of these grow prolifically in our own back yards (or at least they did, before cutting crews cut down all the citrus trees during the canker scare of '02--I swear, if it's not one thing it's another).

But this article in the Palm Beach Post claims to have seen people joining forces to buy organic food. Have I judged my people too harshly?
