>Kiwis.

No one in America should have them, they are one of the ecological damaging fruits. Imagine a small piece of fruit that must travel 5,000 miles to your plate. Don't you think that harms the environment while harming the native populations of agricultural lands to feed their own people. Yes. Its does.

You are now Kiwi informed. Godspeed and may the odds be forever in your favor.

I buy them every time I go shopping, eat a couple, and discard the other dozen or so. I think I’ll buy two boxes today.

Modern kiwis have been grafted and bred so they no longer have to kill thousands of endangered kiwi birds for their precious fruit.

Importing water from the southern hemisphere is awesome. Tasty, healthy and considering the effort, cheap. Don't worry, it will trickle down.

You can't grow kiwis in the USA?
I always thought they were super easy to grow, my grandmother had some large plants in her garden
