LOLOL So what if I don't eat salad? I'm not even sure what your
definition of salad *is* unless it includes canned beans. I happen to
love a salad of fresh spinach just warmed and tossed with slivers of
sauteed garlic and a sprinkling of simple oil & vinegar. Oh wait, you
*hate* garlic.

People who live in areas that get cold can certainly still buy good
produce year round. I guess you've never heard of the trucking
industry. Way back when in some book you may have read, surely someone
mentioned railroads. Ever heard of a warehouse?
