Travelling

Light blogging today.  The Divine Mrs. M and myself are heading to New Orleans for the Produce Marketing Association Convention.  There we will see the latest products and packaging, mostly made in foreign countries by low wage workers or in the USA by similarly low paid people.  It is too easy to be cynical about the food production and distribution system in this country.  If all the workers were paid a living wage, it is likely most people would be horrified by the increased cost.  We are subsidized by the government every step of the way from the seed to the finished product and very few people question the relative cheapness of food in this country.  Enough ranting.  I will report on the wonders of the produce universe tomorrow.
