People are literally giving up staples like broccoli to avoid American products (sh.itjust.works)

I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a bin of American broccoli completely full and untouched. The Canadian broccoli bin? Empty. Canadians would literally rather give up broccoli than buy American.

I for one picked had broccoli on my grocery list but opted for cauliflower instead.

For food, buying locally often means buying with the seasons, which isn't a bad thing either. I've started trying to do this more and enjoy how much more flavour there is in the produce I buy. I have been used to always being able to buy anything I want in any season, but adapting to what is available is kinda fun.
