Im sure soon all produce in stores will have to be local to save the environment. "why eat an orange when u can have a locally grown turnip??" |
Now, that just sounds ridiculous. You know that certain tropical plants and fruits have to be transported across large distances to be brought to our food-stores here in Canada, because they simply won't grow in this kind of climate - I think that that's a generally accepted fact. But what about those which don't? What's wrong with locally produced tomatoes, apples, pears... ??? The less distance that they have to travel from the farmer's field to your local super/market, the less the environmental imapact (and cost) they are to transport; the food can be fresher, and you're supporting your local economy. What's wrong with that?

Wow, this has got to be like the first quote/statement of yours that I agree with. Way to go!! (Although I feel that your previous statement above seems to contract your supposed inclination to support the local, Canadian, economy - why is that?)
Will I merit a response from you this time? (Unlike in the shopping bags thread)
