Attacking Obama, Beck's newsletter falsely claimed arugula is not grown in Iowa

SUMMARY: After recounting how Sen. Barack Obama reportedly asked an audience of Iowa farmers how much Whole Foods charges for arugula, a recent Glenn Beck email newsletter asserted that "[i]t would have been a total home run for the Senator if it weren't for the fact that there are no Whole Foods stores in Iowa and arugula is not even grown in the state." In fact, arugula is grown in Iowa and is widely available in stores throughout the state.
