The Politics of Eating

While having breakfast cereal with strawberries on Sunday, I posed the following question to Dennis: “Is it more ecologically correct for us to eat strawberries grown in Mexico or California? Do you think they travel fewer miles from Mexico or California?”

Dennis responded: “Strawberries from Mexico have probably traveled a shorter distance but the workers are probably treated worse & not paid as well than the workers in California.”
