Where I live most produce is picked by migrant workers who come here from Mexico for the seasonal work, YES, I'm ashamed, not because many of these workers are illegals, but because of how poorly they are treated and paid. We should ALL be ashamed!!!!!!!

you don't know for sure that they did. its slightly possible that a legal citizen picked it.


nickieali
yes you should be ashamed,, if we would not buy the produce then that would put them out of a job...

guysmiley d
very little produce is actually picked..whoever started this rumor doesn't know that most produce is cultivated through machines in cop orate farms....a few delicate things....strawberries...grapes.....etc.... handpicked...Cotton is not handpickedddd!!! please stop with these retarded rumors

sure...stop eating food altogether...everything you eat has immigrant labor involved (legal or illegal)


?
Yes, put that piece of fruit back down!


?
No!! you paid for any vegetables!! You did not get anything free!
Enjoy you'r gourmet!!


Just me
NO you should not feel that way at all!


Jason
no dont be ashamed for buying it, the store should be ashamed for selling it.


Julee.
No. Its food, eat it.
And not every piece of produce is picked by illegals....


Black Sabbath
You would still be able to buy it without that illegal, just at 5-25% cost more (the money made on vegetables is through cheap labor)


vickie
you should be thankful

No. You should not. You should be thankful that someone else is working hard for meere dollars to provide you with the best food possible. These people are working in very harsh conditions just to provide for their families. Just be thankful that you are privilged enough to live the life you do.

Why should you? It's not like anyone from this country wants the jobs they take on.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

You really shouldnt feel too badly. You dont know who is picking your produce, but if you really are worried of supporting an illegal, then why not either grow your own produce, or do some research to see who is picking your produce. I believe they may even have union pickers? If that is the case I dont think they are illegal.

Not really, alot of produce comes from other countries. America is not the only produce producing country in the world.


i_luv_music
you should be ashamed that you support them coming to this country illegally to pick that produce. you need to realize where you stand is in the wrong. i hope it hits you really hard one of these days.
