I don't want to believe the exploitation is true and then I don't want to think about it because I'm not sure what to do about it. Well, except in this case I don't eat Florida tomatoes. That is not however going to solve everything but it certainly is better than supporting the abuse. I'm glad you guys are doing this better than we are. There has to be places to look for solutions. <BR/><BR/>green bean - Nicely put - when the walls come down. With all this recent press it does seem like the walls are coming down.

We really do need to know where our food comes. If the walls come down and we look in the faces of the people who pick our tomatoes, well, I'm gonna bet they (and us) will live a much better life.Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-84879882672082777782009-03-19T16:10:00.000-07:002009-03-19T16:10:00.000-07:00sooo important to let people know about human righ...sooo important to let people know about human rights issues in your own country and where your fodd comes from. Eating local can be fraught with other inherent problems. As an 'island' nation we have fewer of these issues and we also have some pretty good workers rights laws and high minimum wages.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004659288503834211noreply@blogger.com
