That Chinese pet food has a low carbon footprint; it kills animals.

Oh, yeah, we should just stop farming in the US altogether and let other countries supply us with food. Great idea!/SAR

This diversity of foods from all over the world, especially produce, mean that the shopper is able to get more nutritious foods year round. It also spreads wealth to many areas of the world who otherwise have few products to export. I’ll take those tangible human benefit over the man-made, faith-based hysteria about global warming. Just look at al Gore’s girth and you know where he comes down in this trade off.

But, as Richard Gray discovers, produce from the other side of the world can actually have a smaller carbon footprint

And it's soooo much safer! /sarc

This whole issue is idiotic. The cost and carbon footprint of transportation is generally among the least important factors in the food supply.

There is a smaller carbon footprint because the peons just pee on the veggies to water them.

Hollywood should do the right thing and stop eating entirely.

I like locally grown food because it supports people in my community.

It’s all relative. There was more pollution in England and the rest of Europe in the 18th century than there is today.

The Environmentalists will never be happy until they have killed off most of the population (except themselves) and have the rest of the population working, tilling the soil by hand (except themselves).

It can only happen in the UK, which seems to have double the population of enviro-wienies. Go ahead, destroy your local farm industry you morons. The UK has been very entertaining lately, what with the rush of gullible sheeple running out to buy roof top windmills, spending thousands of "pounds" only to find out that
A) they don't work as claimed, and
B) They make a lot of noise mounted on roof tops, and
C) They have to buy electricity from "the grid" anyways.

Of couse, the day will come when the sheeple realize that they have to stick their windmills a lot further up into "clean air' for them to work properly, and UK towns and cities will become very silly looking with housands of tiny windmills sticking 100 feet above houses on flimsy poles supported with guy wires.

The UK court rooms will also see increased activity from lawsuits against windmill owners when the blades break off during storms and kill their pets and children.

Has anyone noticed how the church of climate change insists that individuals sacrifice individual good for a supposed common good. Now what, and who, does that sound like?

I personally have come to enjoy the pesticides (that were banned in this country) on the fruits and vegies from South and Central America and the antifreeze toothpaste and tainted grain from China. Lets lower the carbon footprint in the USA by importing all of our foods this way we will truely be a green nation, we will have saved the world and we will all be dead from cancer!

WTF? So now we are at the point where we are measuring ‘carbon footprints’ of our food???

Why don’t we just do like all good environmentalists want us to do a Jim Jones and have a mass human suicide so we can save the world. For... um for... well I don’t know why, but it really would be good for “Earth”. /sarcasm
