I'm very wary of the organic claims from far flung countries because
I'm not au fait with how they're inspected or set. In any case, I
try not to buy foods that have flown thousands of miles to get here.
They're not only not fresh, they're not 'planet friendly'.

I have read that it makes more sense to fly them here than force them in
heated greenhouses here.

The real answer is to eat only seasonal food, like wot we always used to.

It won't happen, sadly.


No but it's what I aim for. I don't succeed all the time but I do try. I
use a fair bit of frozen veg too which, recent research has shown,
apparently, has often got more of the natural vitamins than that which has
been trucked around UK, let alone flown from Peru or Chile!
