Question

Okay--Why is the USA importing all this crappy, 2nd rate Mexican fruit?

Answer 1

Napkin?

Answer 2

Wow! Crappy? Fruit? Can fruit be crappy?

I have a wonderful peach tree and lime tree in my yard - best fruit you ever tasted. My neighbor has a papaya tree and banana tree. It's amazing, I know, but it has never tasted a bit crappy.

Why are we importing oil from countries that hate us when Texas and Alaska can produce enough oil alone to sustain all of the US?

I bet you will vote for Obama, too. More crappy fruit!

Answer 3

i dont know but it is bs and also hershey is closeing there plant in pa and moveing to mexico

Answer 4

Had a freeze in Florida in February I think that has set back some of the fruit coming out of there. Might be making a market for some of their stuff.

Answer 5

I have a feeling that the Mexicans are stuck with the 2nd rate food and the good stuff goes North.  I was living in Chile in the late 80's when they had the grape scare and Chile couldn't ship anything to the States. We never ate so good, the produce was abundant and very good. The next year when the ban was lifted we ate decidedly inferior produce. All the good stuff was being shipped to the States and Europe. It wouldn't be surprising if some of that is happening with today's market.

Answer 6

Just so you whine about it

Answer 7

cheap cheap and cheaper!

Answer 8

why are we importing so many over wax apples from the usa?

why do i have to eat a pear from washington, or strawberries instead of the nice big one we produce here in Mexico,

Is call free trade.. and if some fruit seem to be  "c**p" don´t buy it, find some good fruit and eat it and this is regardless where it comes from, if that "c**p" and doesn´t sell the big super market stores will stop importing the stuff.
