Must be a national average. Of course this time of year many fruits and vegetables are imported.

Is that a strawberry you're sporting as an avatar? Imported or domestic? ;)

I was hoping that was a ladybug. At McDonalds (the last time I took my nephews around Christmas) tomatoes had to be requested due to the cost. I guess I never really thought about it until I saw they reported veggies went up .2 in December. It just kind ofclicked. I remember a couple saying "Even the green ones (peppers) have nearly doubled now". I will start to watch closer now.
