[QUOTE="Clive, post: 6501446, member: 6"] exactly - this is not just about food, food is the tip of the iceberg in reality ! its about how disposable and wealthy society has got, we ALL have far too much, we dispose of resources and ship things all around the world often with no NEED to do so ...................... its simply makes no sense but until it becomes un financially viable for us to behave in the crazy way that we all demand like its some sort of right the planet will suffer I think the solution lies in massive taxation on fuel globally which will make moving things further than needed very unattractive - this will force markets and manufactures / food producers to focus on local markets more. If other countries like China will not tax fuel we have to tax the imports and if that results in trade wars then we have to learn to become self sufficient as farmers on a highly populated island we would do ok ! but its not really about US is it [/QUOTE]
