Haven't noticed much messican stuff up this way. Do get a lot of south american stuff in the winter though. Also get shitty apples this time of year from chile. why can't those spics grow macs down that way?

Eating imported produce is like ingesting chemicals by the spoonfull. These shit hole countries have no where close to the regulations that the US does on pesticide use and many chemicals are freely applied that are completely illegal in the US. And since on 2% of the produce that is imported, is inspected, a lot never gets checked. I would never eat that shit. And it has nothing to do with the cost of EPA regs..it is the cost of labor pure and simple. I know farmers who have operations in South America and have went the organic route and are making huge bank importing it to the US.

Our family had farm holdings in Northern CA in the Crescent City area. Lily bulbs. CA has fucked with business and agriculture so much, we ended up moving almost all the bulb production across the border into Curry County in southern Oregon near Brookings. Same fucking watershed and drainage, but we had fields that bisected the border and had to use different agricultural practices on them. It is hard enough to make it in agriculture these days, but onerous regulations, reporting and other fuck with you shit just made it impossible. When the father in law died, we liquidated the farm and ground and about 2.5 million dollars per year was taken out of the local economy down there.

CA is completely fucked and getting what they deserve.

Unfortunately for your moronic and predictable repartee, the economy does depend on production industries such as beef packing where as many as 60% of the employees are illegal aliens with counterfeit or stolen s.s cards along with a few aliens with work permits. As per usual, corporate greed and the slime-ball execs at the helm knowingly and willingly hire these wage-depressing illegal fuckos.

And the liberal politicians who sign legislation hindering an employer from questioning a prospective employee documents for fear of discrimination lawsuits. They don't share the blame? or what about allowing lazy fucks, who are legal citizens, to sit on their ass for at least two years collecting unemployment instead of taking the jobs that illegals take?

There's your half-price labor who rarely make comp claims for fear of being fired with no recourse because they are illegal.........

Bullshit. Every other commercial on Spanish speaking radio stations here in the central valley are cock sucking lawyers looking for prospective clients who feel they "haven't been treated right". Many workers have no problem litigating, regardless of their citizenship status.

Yeah, things are just "great."

Idiot.

I thought we were talking about agricultural production. At least try and stay on topic.

If they aren't working, they aren't producing. Evidently, in whichever bizarre fantasy world you inhabit, it makes perfect sense to have thousands of unemployed farm workers in California while importing produce from Mexico.

You further compound your idiocy by claiming this doesn't impact our bottomline because (in your opinion) the growers are still making enough money.

The CenCal city of Merced is known also known as "Merdead" because of the state of it's economy.

I first heard this term for Merced when I initially moved to Yosemite NP .......in 1987.

Yeah, CenCal just recently developed a down economy.

My mind is made up you knee crawling cum receptacle. You suck, will always suck and you walk around on a street corner with a sign that says " Will suck cock for $ 5." That much we know for sure.

So do you want the EPA making sure the food you eat is safe or not?
Bitching about too many chems in food and too many EPA regs is pretty stupid even for you.

Food can come from other sources that a store you stupid twat waffle...the food I eat has no chemicals used on it. Go ahead and slam down some South American produce with all kinds of nasty shit..enough and you will vanish and that would be a good thing.

Good for you. What makes you think I don't? Just making shit up again?
As for SA produce and the EPA, I get that you are too dumb to make the connection between you bitching about unregulated SA produce and bitching about EPA regs in the same post.

But it was another 'super' post by you.
