Default Re: Chiquita - An Awful Short History

That sounds like the article I read; Walmart's success is based on low prices so they just buy from whoever sells the cheapest. But since home grown even beats Chiquita, think I'll send them a letter & ask them to raise their prices to settle the strike. I wouldn't mind paying a dollar a pound or even more if I've got a chance of getting home grown nanners, too .
Bepah: If things get that bad in California, just move to Oklahoma; aside from parties, things have been real peaceful here.

BTW, while in fact I'm not so militant as I like to sound, every good writer knows why "Grapes of Wrath" was relegated to the level of "fiction". Try as we might, nobody's Perfect.
