So we are importing foods not because we can't grow them, but because we found someone that we can pay less for them? that seems like a good way to live, don't bother with the person that does the best job but instead go with someone who will take less money, tell your boss to do the same thing.
China also is very unstable in some of it's practices, like 80% of it's apple trees are pollinated not with bees but with a Chinese person climbing around in the tree with a cigarette filter, that relies not on nature to be part of your food production but on the apple farmer having enough people around at the right time of the year to poke each flower and highlights the problems that they already created that prevents bees from even being around to do their job.
why would you not want your food grown here?
