    I’m not convinced any significant part of my food is produced by flyover states. I eat local when I can, I know California is a huge food producer, but it seems like most food is from other countries.

    Let those flyover states continue to milk that high fructose corn syrup I try to avoid and that ethanol I don’t use in my EV, right into an early grave

    Checking the tofu (soy) in my fridge…… it doesn’t say where it is from but “distributed by” and import company certainly implies it’s sourced from other countries

      Yup. Same. The food made in flyover states is mostly stuff fed to animals (which I don’t eat) or is piped into a lot of processed foods, which I try to minimize my intake of, while I try to maximize my intake of things made in California (and Mexico), etc.
