Can you believe California is bigger than Japan, and only one-third the population of Japan?

Can you believe Uruguay actually exports hamburger to the USA?

Most of California is essentially a desert, not what you would consider rice-growing country.

Much, if not most of California's food is produced in an irrigated desert.

I don't think America is isolated. After all, it is beside South America/Carribean and can be reached from here in 6 hours.

California on the otherhand.. Well that's different.
