It also assumes a food supply chain that keeps us in seasonal food all year round.  Can you imagine A national burger chain saying "sorry, tomatos arn't in season right now"?  There would be an occupy burgerstreet movement in protest.

Didn't that happen a while back?  Subway stopped with tomato for a while due to cost.

Uh, didn't that happen for a while last year?  Not with being out of season, but with the spate of bad produce for a while there.

I've actually had that happen a few times when I used to eat at national burger chains.  Wendy's and I believe What-A-Burger was where it happened.  And more than once at Wendy's.  Probably during the great tomato famine.  ;D
