Buying Local from Farmers Markets

By Samantha-Rae Tuthill, AccuWeather.com Staff Writer
Jul 21, 2012; 9:38 AM ET

In 2008, 43 states reported cases of salmonella food poisoning in the largest outbreak of the infection since 1985. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigated and believes that the outbreak came from the consumption of raw tomatoes and peppers imported to the Unites States from Mexico. ...................http://www.accuweather.com/en/features/ ... mark/68291

I have no problems with farmers having city people pay full market price, as long as I am given the choice to buy U.S. milk, meats and cheeses at lower rates.

The food protection racket Canadian producers have right now means poor people aren't able to afford milk for their kids. I am typing a .25 mile away from 600 head of cattle grazing here. Why the hell is Canadian milk and cheese almost twice the price of U.S. product across the New Brunswick U.S. border? It was the same in Ontario/N.Y.

You would go into a coma if you saw the price of meat, produce, dairy products and groceries at Merritt Island, Florida across the causeway from my mother's winter home in Cocoa Beach. Half price isn't even close.
