    People need to stop expecting every fruit and vegetable to be available fresh year round. I shouldn’t be able to get fresh berries in the middle of winter.

      Fresh fish too is such a killer. I’m sorry, but do not buy seafood if you live in the Midwestern United States, especially anything live or fresh. Frozen is slightly better, but even then think of what goes in to making that happen.

        All of the seafood in the Midwest has been frozen and thawed back out at the grocery store. Fresh fish in the Midwest and even near the coast is a lie. 85% of all us fish consumed is imported, and it was frozen before it ever got into US territory. Many fishing boats freeze them on ship, even. The only way you can chance upon “fresh” fish is if it’s in season and near the coast you’re buying in.
