92% of the world's supply, according to Wikipedia

This isn't a Wuhan flu scare topic, more a "I thought spinach was a locally grown vegetable" topic

I know my country grows its own spinach though.

Yeah, from breeding techniques a couple thousand years ago

Most of our "organic" crops are GMOs in some way or another

How do you think the original broccoli plant came about? Crossbreeding is GMO before the modern understanding of GMO lol

Oranges are hardcore GMO for example, because they wouldn't exist without humans having forced them to exist by crossbreeding mandarins and pomelos

phew... i just checked the bag of Popeye's spinach i have in the crisper drawer and it was produced in Salinas, CA. i'm in the clear.

That and Yuma, AZ are basically where almost all green leafy vegetables for consumption in North America come from.
