#1 Which leads to the question:

How long before we start reading of large numbers of fentanyl related food or packaging contamination deaths?

#2 You're frightening me, N.

I like green beans but would prefer to have them grown in the USA.

We used to grow all the avocados we need right here in San Diego County but then the water got too expensive. Thanks for that, Gavin. Now all the avocados are from Mexico.

It's OK though. Fallbrook growers found that vineyards don't use as much water.

Have to start looking at the packaging to see where my produce is grown. In California we have the Central Valley and Imperial Valley to grow all kinds of vegetables. Who needs green beans from Mexico?

Just curious. I just looked at a bag of green beans in my freezer. First it said Product of Belgium. But further down it said:

Country of origin:

BE DE FR NL PL

I guess that's a relief. Maybe.
