Time we stood up and were counted.We have the best locally grown food in the world and we import foods.
No wonder no one wants to be a farmer or a man on the land.
It is a tough life anyway with droughts ,floods ,cyclones, hail , rodents attacking crops and plagues of insects.
All this is part and parcel of life on the land.
Farmers and growers accept these natural phenomenon and get on with it.
What though they also have to battle is unforgiveable ,that we do not support our growers and farmers in Oz.
For our wonderful foods to survive and end up on our tables we need to buy Australian products not imported from all over the world where we do not know what the standards of preparation are or what the mix is within those foods.
Dick Smith is a fabulous Australian icon as he goes into bat for the Ozzie foods we should be supporting.
Yes the imported stuff may be cheaper but the quality is not there.
Also the people are not paid in equitable manner , their working conditions often are not of a good standard , their rights as workers are ignored.
Okay we have global economies and I am not one who lives in the dark ages and I know we have agreements with other countries but if we import their foods lets put on a tax on them so we can be competitive with our own
foods in the market place, an even playing field . Some may be calling this protectionism and unfair but if we don't protect our farmers and growers we will be sold inferior , poor quality foods , coming from countires who have cheap labour and no work rights .
Everyone has lost sight of the fact that "We are what we eat", if you eat crap , you will not be the healiest person, overloaded sugar, overloaded salt, too much fat but the product is cheap and it is imported.
There is no compromise on health, we need to consume good healthy fresh foods , that are grown in non gmo soli without farming animals through cruelty , not fishing willy nilly loading up animals with antibiotics .
We have rules and regulations in Oz , standards so lets support good foods and the Australian products.
I also know we need to watch the budgets but one must never compromise on good qaulity foods. Health comes first as "We are what we eat".
To quote Dick Smith , Japan and China are great with electronics , cars , other countries have their specialties in handwork , crafts and manufacturing.
Australia if you have trevelled has the best foods in the world , fresh and of high quality.
So lets all get behind buying Australian !!!
