Amen to that. Makes me enjoy that BLT and fries even more! The more I become aware of the fragility of the food/goods supply chain the more I walk through the grocery store in amazement that we have so many products available at relatively affordable prices. How long the average meal can travel 1000 miles to get to your plate is anybody's guess.
