I HAD NO IDEA THAT EATING TOMATOES (IN THE U.S.) IN THE WINTER SUPPORTED SLAVERY. I DISCOVERED THIS ARTICLE THROUGH GLUTEN FREE GIRL'S BLOG. IT'S NOT WHAT EXPECTED FROM GOURMET MAGAZINE. READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE - IT'S WORTH IT!
I'M GLAD I BOUGHT THESE LITTLE GRAPE TOMATOES (THE ONLY KIND THAT HAVE FLAVOR IN WINTER ANYWAY) AT WHOLE FOODS - APPARENTLY THEY ARE THE ONLY GROCERY CHAIN THAT HAS PROMISED NOT TO BUY FROM GROWERS WHO TOLERATE WORKER ABUSE. THEY ALSO PLEDGED TO PAY A PRICE THAT SUPPORTS A LIVING WAGE.
