Letter: Greens from China

Yes it's true. A local supermarket, sugar snap peas, $27-50 a kg (Product of China). Fresh veggies imported from China. Everything seems to be China these days, but few would believe fresh greens. A country as vast as Australia, sparsely populated, and already we import huge quantities of our food. How long before all our producers go broke and it's everything. Australia supposedly just pips Norway as the richest per capita nation on earth. The affluent disease becoming an epidemic, the old work ethic slipping away as many cry out for more and more in return for less and less. Maybe our cash cows mining, timber, agriculture and fishing should succumb to the green ideal. Shut shop and just import everything, paid for with green air.
