Surely you don't think they grow in the USA, do you? I realize up there you've never seen a 700ft
ship named "Chiquita" pulling into port - but they do, in GA, FL and the Gulf (Alabama).

Hey, we get those banana and plantain boats way up here in Massachusetts, too.

My wife has a good friend who is a pharmacist here in California and she said there has been a massive amount of demand for iodide tablets. My hunch is that way more people are going to get sick or worse from improperly taking the dosage of the tablets than there will be people who become ill because of radiation poisoning.
