      (not my research area but to throw in my thoughts…)

      I think it does. I think everyone should spend 1 year only eating what they have grown, then 1 year only eating what they can carry by foot. Then we would value it more. Okay a silly idea but you get what I mean…

      I think so too because we dont see how hard it was to make the food and they use cheap labor to produce the food cheaply. If we only ate food from the UK it would be very expensive due to minimum wage and so we would all eat less or grow our own food!
