If I want a REAL georgia peach I head up to Georgia (usa). They can't ship the real ones. Too tender!!!!
Local fodder is best. Once some fruits & veggies are picked green they don't ripen right. If I want oranges or grapefruit- I just go out my front door.
Unripened 'green' oranges make fabulous pellets for throwing or loading into sling shots. (Voice of experience!!!)
Bob, good job your tea/coffee or hotdog doesn't need to travel that far - would be STONE COLD!!!

WE have "big box" warehouse stores here called Costco. They have a snack bar inside that serves a 1/4 pound hotdog or sausage do plus a big drink for $1.50. It's a regular stop on my way around the store. The store also offers food & drink samples on little tables throughout the store, usually at the end of every aisle. One can eat lunch if they stop at every one.
Hmmmmm I like this store, but they'll have to widen the doors as I'd never get out again!!! On second thoughts maybe that's just as well _ I could move in.
I look out for the Fairtrade labels when shopping. When there is an option of choosing a Fairtrade product that is what I will buy. Cotton clothing in particular can now readily be found with the Fairtrade label on.

Aerolor, Well Done young lady. Others are making a fortune at the expense of those poor Workers!!
What is so confusing with fairtrade is, that you buy something say hot chocolate from a supermarket which says fairtrade on it and then you never see it again. Am I missing something, do they not go to these countries again.
Same old....same old, the rich get richer and the poor lose out, again. I will have to rethink my buying of Fair trade products - always thought it was too good to be true!
