The U.S. government said Monday it is immediately placing a 17% duty on most fresh Mexican tomatoes after negotiations ended without an agreement to avert the tariff.
Except I’m allergic thanks to the pesticides used here.
Interesting, so is this just for domestic tomatoes or are there other veggies/fruit that you are allergic to?
Are all foreign tomatoes “safe” or are there other countries that use the same type of pesticides?
Its Roundup. If you’re consuming stuff treated with Roundup you could end up with a contact allergy or cancer.
Im sorry to hear that. Even on organic tomatoes?
Organic farmers use pesticides.
Yup. Something in there reactivates my allergy.
… while at the same time raiding local farms
The best way for this regime to be stupider. is to stay awake for more hours
Feed ice to ICE…you might actually be on to something.
I didn’t know US was a net producer of tomatoes.
We must eliminate the strategic tomato gap, this communist threat cannot be allowed to stand unchecked. /S
Well I guess it’s time to just not eat tomatoes during the off season.
Make tomato’s great again!
Who is going to grow them? Disabled people? Also, lots of luck speed growing tomatoes.
The prisoners from the concentration camps will be leased back to the farmers.
Exactly the plan. Which is why private prisons have to be Bastille’d.
There are means to do this!
It’s called…lots and lots of artificial fertilizer…
Nope. Doesn’t work that way at all. Hot soil can speed up tomatoes, but not fertilizer.
Oh, so growlamps!
Eh, won’t beat LLM electricity bill anyway xD
have you tried adding more sun?
the world been working on that for decades and decades
Probably, if RFK jr. gets his way with his health farms.
As ICE kills a man on a tomato farm in California
Meanwhile tomatoes rot on the vine on U.S. farms because ICE has deported most workers and the rest are too frightened to show up. Plus, pay is far too low to actually attract American workers.
That’s some real 10-dimensional thinking, there.
they just don’t want the tomato’s thrown at them when they are locked in the stocks. same with eggs.
This is gonna go well
You just know magas put real effort into being this stupid.
American tomatoes would probably be smeared in e coli. Be careful out there my US friends.
At this point I have a difficult time trusting any tomatoes I don’t grow myself.
Does he think the tomatoes are made like in the factory or something? Does he understand that it takes time to grow tomatoes?
The old cunt has probably never seen a tomato that hasn’t already been mushed into the “sauce” he puts on his well done steak.
Tomatoes are already shit as we genetically modified them to be nice and round, blotch free. Same mods also removed the sugars and acids, which are the two things that make a tomato a fucking tomato.
Anyway, growing and harvesting tomatoes is a cold stone bitch. I’m sure red-blooded Americans will be glad for the work! BTW, I’m in NW Florida. Even down here I can’t grow year-round. Good luck with that.
You can grow year round anywhere using greenhouses…
You definitely can grow year round. This is a tiny part of what is called “the plastic sea” in Almería, Spain. The climate is like Arizona, dry and hot. They grow year round by managing light, heat and water. Almeria is part of Europe’s vegetable garden.
Excuse me, we are american and we KNOW there is nothing left to learn about farming. We are already the best at it so take your mystical ideas somewhere else!
Heh. You really should put your /S at the end. Some dumb readers may interpret this as serious.
mean while kicking farmers out? good luck
Ok… What field do i have to go to so i can harvest them myself… Since there is no one to harvest them for me?
The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit—and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country.
