Where does your food come from?

It may seem ridiculous, but there are a lot of people who do not know where their food comes from.

Do you?  Do you look to see a product's origin?  Or, what it contains?

This may seem like small potatoes in terms of sustainability, but more and more, a product's origin is crucial to its affordability, its overall cost to us as a society and also its quality. 

The NYTimes is out with a piece detailing our predilection, nay, our dependence, on food from distant corners of the planet, and the increasing toll such fancies have on the environment.
