I am just curious where you are getting your info that most of the produce we eat is grown in other countries? As of a few years ago California alone grew 60% of the produce and grain that America ate. They also accounted for 54% of the dairy products, approximately 25-30% of the meat and something like 39% of the cotton grown in this country. And that was just California, there are many other states producing food for this country. So I am genuinely curious where you got this data from as I am interested in seeing how that trend might have changed.
