Where our food comes from - The Answers...

Where does most of this food come from? The answers I found.
  1. Bananas - Guatemala
  2. Lemons - California
  3. Lamb chops - Texas
  4. Hamburger - Tricky to figure out, my guess Texas, [info on lean beef imports].
  5. Canola oil - Canada
  6. Onions - California
  7. Flour - Kansas
  8. Brussel sprouts - who cares? OK, California
  9. Sweet potatoes - North Carolina
  10. Olive oil - Italy
  11. Pickles - Michigan
  12. Apples - Washington
  13. Milk - California
  14. Wine - California
  15. Garlic - China (BTW - for a peek at the gangsta, trash-talkin' side of garlic economics, check out the comments here.)
  16. Baby back ribs - Denmark
  17. Peaches - California
  18. Tomatoes - Florida
  19. Broccoli - California
  20. Beer - California (I think)
I also discovered that imports of fresh fruits and vegetables is growing rapidly, but remains mostly seasonal.
