NONE! All Canada and Mexico grown. You can't find one single SC grown product at Bi-Lo - which is a company headquartered in Greenville!!!! Also, how is it that packages of snow peas have the certified SC Grown logo on the bag and there's a stamp at the top of the bag that says "Product of Guatemala?" WTF? Just because Walter Rawl's corporate office is in Pelion they can put that misleading label on the bag of crap grown in South America? What a joke and a waste.

You must be because that comment is ridiculous. It doesn't matter where a cucumber is grown. If your concern is to help poor people eat more produce then import it from wherever it's the cheapest. P.S. I want my $2.5 million back. James — are you on the Chernoff payroll? You must be because that comment is ridiculous. It doesn’t matter where a cucumber is grown.

Last week a study found South Carolina ranked number 5 in the nation in obesity. How can you be poor and fat? It's easy. Consume a lot of "cheap" junk food like french fries, potato chips, hot dogs, and high fructose corn syrup colas. The unhealthiest calories are also the cheapest. Eating local produce and food from nearby farms will save millions on health care costs, transportation costs, improve the health of thousands of people from South Carolina, and improve the standard of living of many local farmers.
