Antoher friendly reminder of why we have to buy European products: tariffs to all agriculture products going to USA from next month. We still don’t know the percentage, but anyway, buy European as long as you can!

    clementines don’t exist as US product. Olives are just better in Europe. Seasonally, grapes and other fruits come from southern hemisphere due to growing seasons. This is a very silly policy.

      You know, maybe there’s a silver lining to this bullshit. A large part of our climate issue is related to agriculture, and reducing the eating of out of season items that incur additional carbon costs may be beneficial. We grow enough food in the US that these aren’t foods that are “needed,” just desired.
