Something to think about
Farmers get such bad press!
Farmers should use less antibiotics, but if your own kitten or dog is sick, you go to the vet right away and give them antibiotics and medications. Sick animals need antibiotics !
Farmers should not import feed - but we regularly eat couscous, mango, avocado, bananas etc which are for sale in our country by importing! 🍅🥥 ✈️🚤
Farmers spoil the drinking water with pesticides - but we shower daily with shampoo, wash clothes and dishes with detergent - and it all goes down the drains!!💧
Farmers should need less pesticides - but we buy strawberries and asparagus etc in the winter because we can't wait for the season to come... 🍓🥦
Farmers have to keep as much livestock as they can produce themselves to try to keep afloat - but we buy the cheaper piece of foreign meat from the store because the domestic one is too expensive. 🥩🥩
Farmers would need less, or no, pesticides if we would buy a crazy shaped carrot or vegetables not a uniform size - but we buy the cheaper and nicer product in the store!!
Yes farmers should change everything - but we buy more and more foreign products far too cheaply!!
Nobody is interested in which, and how many, antibiotics or pesticides the foreign stuff have used - but home grown produce is hightly regulated!
It doesn't matter if you fly the plane over superfood abroad, and put any number of chemicals on it - but UK farmers have to record every single chemical treatment, along with where and when purchased'!
And then that foreign food has to be transported here by plane or ship - the massive amount of fuel it takes to get them here is insane! ✈️🚤
It is not the farmers who have to change everything, but the consumer! ⬅️
Let's finally start with ourselves before we lecture others! 👌 👌
One thing you should never forget - UK farmers take excellent care of your food! 🧀🐄🥚🐑 🧀🥚🐂
A healthier world is everyone's responsibility!
BUY BRITISH !
