I just don't think it's right that we get orange juice concentrate from South America when we can produce it here. Most garlic in Australia comes from overseas. Lots of seafood. These are things we should be able to source reasonably locally.

Don't demonize food thats traveled a distance. Blame the consumer for wanting cheap food.

Mostly its not cheap food. Its variety of food. All varieties of vege and fruits aren't available in one place. Actually its human nature. We want everything and that is what has created a demon called Global Warming.
