Mangos...and Questions About Food

Today I bought fresh mangos! I sank my teeth into the most delicious, sweet, drippy mango...from Guatemala!!!!! I enjoyed every bit of the mango...but, I wondered IF the farmer had received her or his fair wage for all the work in raising the mango. I thought about all the fuel/energy used to get the mango to the Costco in Lancaster, PA, where I bought it. I wish I could grow mangos in my back yard...then, I wouldn't have to think about such things. Meanwhile, I'm really grateful for a ripe, juicy mango...and I think it's a good thing to wonder about the origin of our food!!!! (I looked it up - plural mango can be spelled two ways!)
