It's awful and extremely rude of anyone to feel no shame about breathing on people after eating it.
Filthy habit. As bad as having to breathe in other people's cigarette smoke.

Do the maths! Anything else is wishful thinking.
How come our politicians let it get so bad?
Even though we might not be able to feed all of the population with local produce, we could certainly reduce the amount of air miles (or ship miles) by growing more and importing less.....

We are not using arable land to best effect and that's why we have to import stuff. I spend most of my time running and walking in the countryside around here and see first hand how the fields are being used.
