illegal vegetables

It would seem that threats to free commerce may come from unlikely sources... even the restaurant where you may be dining. Chef Gordon Ramsay:

"There should be stringent laws, licensing laws, to make sure produce is only
used in season and season only,"

Vain chefs aside, "out-of-season" produce is also under scrutiny in commercial circles due to "carbon footprint".

When you think about it, bananas are a commercial boon -- they provide money in poorer parts of the world for farmers, money for transportation industry, money in local economies for grocery stores, and most of all, they go so well with my oatmeal on a cold winter morning.
