Arrr, matey! The grand feast o' the U.S. be upheld by scallywags o' foreign shores! From California's berry patches to Florida's citrus groves, a hearty 70% o' them landlubbers be born afar. In the meat houses, nearly half the crew be swabs from distant lands, keepin’ our bellies full!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend an ear to this tale of the mighty U.S. food system, which be held up by the hardworkin’ hands of low-wage immigrant scallywags! Aye, from the sun-soaked fields of California’s strawberries to the groves of Florida’s juicy oranges, a staggering 70 percent of the landlubbers harvestin' our bounty hail from foreign shores!Now, ‘tis not just the crops that be dependin’ on these brave souls. In the belly of meatpackin’ plants, ye’ll find nearly half of them buccaneers who be slicin’ and dicin’ beef, pork, and poultry also be from far and wide, swingin’ cutlasses—or, ye know, knives—in the name of good grub! And don’t forget the jolly crew of truck drivers, transportin’ cows to the slaughterhouses and steaks to the markets; over a quarter of ‘em be settin’ sail from distant lands as well!
