I haven't spent much time on the West Coast, but this surprises me. California is the real "Garden State" in terms of produce production. Can other people verify this or offer a theory why this would be the case?

- astrange 4y agoGroceries aren’t that good in NYC because they won’t allow enough warehouses to be built; IIRC this leads to produce being older and sometimes spoiled in stores. Other places on the east coast do have better groceries than NorCal and proximity to farms doesn’t seem to matter that much. Which makes sense; “eating local” and “farm to table” are not actually real things, wouldn’t be good for the environment if they were, and are mostly products of green meme boomers’ wishful thinking.
