Laugh at them and point out their products made from overseas.

Tell them if they are that serious to start up greenhouses growing tropical fruits. Basicaly people just want to bs themselves so they can eat crap. An obese lady told me the other day that my 'diet is too imported' I reminded her that Big Macs are more local than bananas here in Adelaide. She said 'well a big mac never killed anyone..'.

ok, so what do you say to someone in the uk, when they question you buying 200kgs of fruit from hundreds if not thousands of miles away which is all transported by crude? I have environmentalist friends and some of them are very specific about food miles, organic farmers and folk with smallholdings who produce there own vegetables, what can I say to them?
