First they came for our tomatoes, and I did nothing… because I could buy Canadian tomatoes.

Then they came for our jalepenos, and still I did nothing, because I could buy them canned…

But when they came for my cilanto, there was nothing left of my pico de gallo except the canned shit.

so true. and how funny about canadian tomatoes. what are we to do? what our antepasados did. what our own familia, in some cases, has done.

plant. grow. harvest.

but for ourselves this time.

Man, there is SO MUCH behind this whole story I can’t even begin to blog about it. There’s racism and xenophobia, rise of the culture of fear, a corruption of food as “nutrients”, corrupt government agencies, a wacked-out ecosystem, failure to understand what is science and what is not…

I got yelled at by my own grandma about eating pico de gallo. And the Canadian tomatos taste like apples. What is a Mexican to do?! ARG
