Eat local?

Filed under:  — cyberhobo at 8:01 am

I’ve been inspired by recent reading to eat more locally produced food. Apparently the UK is really getting into it. Here’s a sample of what African farmers have to say about that:

“With the deepest respect, the farmers in the villages where I come from don’t have televisions, they don’t have refrigerators, they don’t have even one car, let alone two, they don’t have motorbikes, they’ve never even been to our country’s capital let alone flown all over the world on holiday — so don’t ask those farmers to pick up the cost of environmental problems you in the industrialised West have caused.”
