http://www.good.is/post/making-california-americas-organic-farm/California provides over 25% of AMerica's food; it's $35,000,000,000 industry.What if we cut off all the people who criticize us? What if we start exporting out of the country?Is true; first gen immigrants do import more, although places like whole foods are big importers too, mostly white people shop there.{@o@} O RLMENTE?

Because we import it from Mexico and...Also, there are A LOT of first generation immigrants here. They all want food from their country. So they ship it here. They have Asian stores where everything in the store comes from Asian countries.If you lived in LA or San Fran you would know there are millions of Asians and Mexicans who JUST got here.They have hundreds of stores that all their food comes from their countries.

The need for phony sophistication to stroke their egos? All those delicacies that become necessary to keep up their images can't be found here in the good old U.S. of A. Eh, whatever, I took a shot in the dark.

Beats me. Why would anyone sell food to California? Its broke.

We import because we like diversity in our food as well - plus - unlike Red Staters who seem to survive on fast food and donuts - we cook!!!!
