Do you eat garlic? Specifically peeled garlic?
Slaves in China peel that garlic, and the garlic is grown in california and shipped to china for slaves to peel it all, and they lose their fingernails due to how much garlic they need to peel.
I love garlic, but on par with the fucking Sackler family of Oxycontin, The garlic ranches of Gilroy are fucking despicable.
- Jolter 5y agoIt boggles my mind that apparently consumers are not willing to peel their own garlic. What’s next, peeled apples in shrink-wrap?
- aerostable_slug 5y agoGarlic ranches of Fresno, you mean. The Gilroy thing was largely invented to draw tourists — Fresno is where the bulk is grown, ex. Fresno County grew 25,060 acres of garlic in 2017. Santa Clara County grew 761 acres. About 90% of California's garlic crop is from Fresno. Gilroy has the festival and a couple of processing plants.
- roflc0ptic 5y agoHahahaha, that’s funny in a terrible way. Yes, I recently discovered peeled garlic, and thought to myself, “man; I love not peeling garlic. I wonder what industrial process they use to make this work at scale.” Apparently the answer is slavery? Gonna Google that and confirm, but I guess this means I’m back to peeling my own garlic.
