    While it is ideal to eat within season, it’s not inherently bad that we import things that are in season elsewhere. Global supply chains can be eco-friendly and the alternative can actually be more wasteful (like growing in places without water but a lot of sun, like Cali) but they do need to be pressured into doing it that way.

    Honestly, the other alternative is just going back to pre-global trade, which would be a few centuries. I’m down for bringing back wind sails, though!
