It ~is~ insane that I can buy fresh strawberries in the South East US in freakin' February, and they only be marginally more expensive than those I can get in season. Somebody is getting robbed along the way from greenhouse (likely in Canada) to my produce section, 1000 miles away. I suspect it's the farmer.

I think it's futile to expect the powers that be (government, legacy media, &c.) to call it for what it is, whatever their dumb reasons.

I read an article recently that described a socialist model for the economy that advocated for hub-spoke style, regional way to manage resources and it struck me as something that could work well (and be accepted by mainstream society) for food production.

It lacked, I think sorely, any discussion of a wider distribution model, though. Not necessarily trucking in fresh produce, but those tomatoes should be canned where they were grown for nutritional density as well as economy.
