This is our small but excellent farmers market in Tegu. 

Often when I eat the produce here I wonder what the hell is going on with U.S. produce.

Looks amazing. I don’t have any trouble finding fresh produce in the U.S. (major city, daily farmer’s markets). But I imagine the year round demand for fresh but out of season produce causes a lot of the issues here. Combined with pesticides, hormones, GMOs, and other chemicals, it’s a disaster situation. But what’s the alternative for 400MM+ people?
