On a related note, how 'bout garlic from China?

How can it be more efficient to buy garlic from a place more than
twice the distance as Watson(?), CA (if you're on the East coast)?


I'm still trying to figure out how the Chinese can buy wood from
us--trees--and turn it into plywood that sells for about 2/3 the price of US
or Canada made plywood. Double shipping has to add up, regardless of low
cost labor, and a lot of plywood manufacturing costs are in the equipment.
