But so does mine and California is not local for me. I have been to the Whole foods in North Carolina, New York, and Texas,the Same thing was happening. Everything was from California, or some other foreign country. Whole foods is a scam, because they are leading people to believethat they are doing a good thing by buying organic, when in realitythey are using up a lot of the earths fuel by transportation of all of these fruits and vegetables, and putting the local farmers out of business. I really don't know who to blame, for the way our society is, Nearby, in Myakka, there are NEw condominiums being built as we speak, where there used to be a farms. , fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote:>> the local whole foods here lists where each veggie and fruit comesfrom....> it'll say "grown in so and so farm in california", er "from chile",er wotever..and i can at least make informed choices that way...> > > >Anouk Sickler <zurumato> >Apr 11, 2006 10:24 AM> > > > Re: Low B12.> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
