This is a little more serious than a new flavoured chicken dish. Obviously our new found best buddy in the form of the USA views the Uk as a dumping ground for it's over production of food , we , in contrast , seem unable to grasp the importance of feeding our nation .
The original concept of the Common Market was to safeguard European farmers against fluctuating global food production. A couple of major conflicts tend to focus the thinking on such things.
Little doubt what started with good intention escalated into a eurofest of rich land owners getting richer and inefficient peasant farmers surviving in a market place that was anything but a mirror of market forces. Whatever the pros and cons the fact remains that our shop shelves are full , seasonal produce is a thing of the past and it is still very much affordable .
This could we change dramatically if Grove and co don't get their act together. It is doubtful that the EU Countries will not see to continuing shipping their produce over the Channel but if we do place some form of tit for tat levy we may become a food dumping ground in order to placate the great unwashed who are used to cheap available produce.
Long term we need to get home grown production working but it will need planning by those who know about these things as opposed to those who think they do.
