Making dinner the other day I decided to do a quick check on where my ingredients originated from.
Peru, Spain, Morocco, Chile and the UK!
Thats the information I could get easily from the packaging, probably other items also had traveled to me here in Scotland from far away other parts of the world and it wasn't even anything particularly interesting for dinner!
Its part of our "normal" now, going to the supermarket and picking up the mixture of items on offer. Brilliant as it is to have this choice and variety in our diet and I am aware of what a privilege it is to have money to go and buy items that are available.
It was a reminder to me though that even as a "informed" shopper who attempts to buy local / seasonal items, I can do better, be more aware of my actions.
