What, you're confused as to why the place of origin is put on food? |

Sorry, that should have been 'I'm at a loss as to why this issue even exists in the first place'. It's this bit that got me:
It just seems that we're pandering to the worst d1ckheads in those areas and their supporters for seemingly little benefit ![]() |

So the consumer now gets to make an informed choice on the ethical origin of their food. ![]() |

Do you actually think Israeli farmers are somehow more despicable than Palestinian farmers? There is an obvious political/ethical choice to do with which government you support but do you really think the farmers get a whole lot of choice over who governs the land they till? How exactly is a farmer an active part of one or other state? All you're doing is making one innocent person who is unlucky enough to have been born in a bad situation slightly poorer than another innocent person who is unlucky enough to be born in the other bit of a bad situation. entirely apart from the fact that Israeli farms may still employ palestinian workers or vice versa. Either way you're punishing an innocent person for a situation that is not within their control. I hope you enjoy your completely illusory sense of moral superiority. Jon |
