latimes:In immaculate greenhouses, Mexican laborers are ordered to use hand sanitizers and schooled in how to pamper the produce. They’re required to keep their fingernails carefully trimmed so the fruit will arrive unblemished in U.S. supermarkets.The produce may live in luxury, but those harvesting it live in squalor. A Los Angeles Times investigation found many workers are held against their will. Those who attempt to escape are beaten.Do you know where your food comes from?Photos by Don Bartletti. -- source link
