This weekend, virtually all roses given (and received) in the United States will have been grown in South America. The weather here is simply not conducive to roses in the middle of winter.
That led me to think some more about the local and sustainable movement. Stretched to the limit, no one on continental US will have access to guava, pineapples, papaya, or coffee (gasp!). (However, people in Hawaii and Guam will readily have a platter of their local fruits.) People in the California will not have blueberries (Northwest) and salmon (mostly Northwest). As for the people in Boston and New York, they will have puny choices when it comes to having anything of the green color.
As for Alaskans in February... I shudder to think.
If a neutron bomb detonated, and you were able to survive with the technology intact, California with its Mediterranean weather is probably the best place to be. Just saying.
