[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3800283, member: 5412"] Nothing against your comments as I don't know, but I do know after spending three winters in the Rio Grand Valley among miles of farms/orchards producing all the fruit/veggi's we eat around here that there is a huge amount of time those items are sitting in open top semi's around the food warehouses where they are packaged and sent down the road in trucks to distribution centers where they are again sent by truck to the grocery stores. Many days if not as week passes sitting there. We drove by them every day. When we buy fruit/veggi's there, it's incredible how long they last in the fridge because we buy them right out of the field with no transportation involved. You never see a greenhouse in that area as the mean temperatures remain above 60 in the winter at night and 80's during the days. Here in Northern Ok, they last a few days after buying them because of the delay time in warehousing and distribution. [/QUOTE]
