Much of the produce that we eat now has been shipped or flown from many miles away. Not only does this pollute the environment and we pay the price for the cost of the shipping (ie gasoline or diesel) and the packing, but this produce has been grown as specific varieties that can survive the hardships of early picking and transportation, so we lose in numbers of varieties as well as in nutrition.
