Obama's Commerce Department is about to intervene in a dispute with Mexican and U.S. tomato growers. If the Department intervenes, your tomatoes will be less tasty, more expensive, less plentiful, and thousands of jobs will be lost.
An L.A. Times article points out that "Many in the pro-Mexican tomato camp suspect presidential election
politics have had a role in the dispute, with the Floridians using their
state's status as a repository of swing votes to put pressure on the
Obama administration."
