Avocados mmmmm

The most recent edible occurrence that comes to mind when thinking about how economics, politics, and ethics was is my most recent trip to the grocery store a few days ago. I think it is easy to simply go to the grocery store and purchase literally whatever you want at nearly any time in the year. The most prominent thing that comes to mind was how over the entire winter i was able to purchase avocados on every trip to the store. It seems strange that in the tundra of Minnesota winter i am still able to make fresh guacamole. Regions are much more connected with respects to food than may be shown at the surface, isn't it amazing how large food distributors have been able to in essence negate the large scale affects that the seasons have on the choices at the grocery store. Not only were these little avocados brought across the country, like some fruits and vegetable are, but these avocados cross national borders. They came a few thousand miles from Mexico. This begs the question, why mexico? Avocados can be made in many parts throughout the US, like California. But then again, not many people care where they come from. They see a price and a quality, that's what i do most of the time. Isn't it interesting that when economics and politics roll together in the food industry, somehow tropical fruits end up on my counter in the middle of a Minnesota winter.
