Tonight we are in our room at the PP Island hotel eating Sunkist navel oranges imported into Malaysia from the U.S. We bought them because they were the cheapest oranges in the grocery store. Is there something wrong with a fruit that originated in SE Asia, having been cultivated by the Chinese as early as 2500BC, being shipped and sold in Malaysia cheaper than the oranges grown around here?
Guess this is just the corollary to Jim's buying electronic parts on E-Bay and having them shipped via air mail from Hong Kong cheaper than he can buy them in Topeka.
