"Do you eat fruit and veggies from other countries....???"

You mean you can still buy American fruit? Last year they let the fruit rot in the orchards because the chinese, south american, and mexican imports came in for less than it cost to produce here.

This year an early heat wave followed by a late frost killed the fruit crop, but I expect that next year millions of pounds of fruit will again be left to rot.

Someone has been slipping stupidjuice into the water supply. There's no other reason I can think of for a country to welcome an increasing dependence on its avowed enemy for its food supply.
