Unless North America is into eating Strawberry flavored Almond Bread, CA is not bread Basket of NA.
Garlic basket - Yes, Strawberry Basket - Yes,
Nut Basket - For sure (if you count hollywood celeb and eccentric world saviors of SV).
But bread basket .. nope. The people of CA think the sun rotates around them. The most arable land in 'Murica is the mid-west and Mississippi river system. America with out CA will happily feed itself without missing a beat, without Almond milk of course.
- hourislate 8y agoYeah, I just love the Mid-West and Mississippi fresh fruit and fresh vegetables in the middle of Winter. Who knew they had a harvest of Lettuce in January.
- sremani 8y agoFrom Wikipedia: The breadbasket of a country is a region which, because of the richness of the soil and/or advantageous climate, produces large quantities of wheat or other grain. note: Your smugness is nauseating! note2: can some one explain flagging rules on HN.
