I've got coffee plants growing in my yard here in Miami, but I believe the native Florida coffee is pretty bad...OTOH, I don't drink coffee anyway, although my wife carries around a cup most of the day, I think she mainly likes the smell.
Yes, lots of foreign stuff is lots better than our own, you can hardly avoid getting it. Some of our stuff is better as well, though I'm not sure what our main exports are.
Anyhow, I'm a free market free trade person pretty much.
