[QUOTE="delilah, post: 6852784, member: 76758"] He doesn't say that though. He doesn't talk about the root causes behind the destruction of the supply chain making it impossible for him to buy local. He just says the missus did the weekly supermarket shop, with no hint that it, in itself, is part of the problem. Millions of people don't give a sh!t. That's fine, they don't pretend otherwise. If you are going to say that you do give a sh!t - and be paid by publishers to say so - then it is beholden on you to make an effort. I bet I could live where James does and live quite happily without setting foot in a supermarket. In that article he has missed a golden opportunity to talk about the root causes of the problems he identifies. Why has he missed that opportunity ? Because he doesn't understand the root causes ? Then he should. Anyway, gotta dash, lambs to abattoir :LOL: . edit: just read it again. It's just another whingeing farmer article. Better written than most, granted, but that's all it is. I don't want to read about problems. I can come on TFF for that. I want to read about solutions. What are James' solutions ? He concludes by saying this: [I] Because if another disaster strikes — and it will — then I want a significant share of my diet to be available within walking distance of where I live. I want to know where I can source food for my family, and if that means I pay a bit more for food in the good times, then so be it. [/I] Can't argue with that. How to achieve it, James ? [/QUOTE]
