For nearly two years, I was not working on Friday, which allowed me to do my small neighborhood market that day. So I took my small fruit and vegetable merchant who offers us products seasonal and regional. But now, I just go back to work full time and suddenly, over the little market on Friday.
Thus, I found myself doing my grocery shopping at the supermarket, the time to make new habits in my new neighborhood.
So here I am pushing my cart on the shelves of supermarkets, navigating through the preserves, desperately seeking a brand green beans very special. Why a particular brand? Not routinely, but simply because my cousin farmer grows green beans for this sign. Unfortunately, my boy, finally, large radius of canned was devoid of the trademark. Here I am really disappointed, but not losing the thread of my desire to green beans, I start looking for a new brand with its vegetable origin is French. But what was my surprise when I realize that all, including reference marks, we sell green beans imported from Madagascar and Cameroon!
O rage, O despair! Anger I won this ... How is it that we import such goods so that the product on site. And furthermore, how is it that it is sold at a discount price?
We know how, today wages are low and the gaps between social classes is widening. However, society encourages us to consume foreign goods, produced with little means, employing cheap labor, no rules and no standards of hygiene for the respect of the environment, or regulations regarding the use of product known to be toxic.
How is it that we allow companies to produce food in countries where the soils are not suitable? Would not it make more sense to leave these countries produce fruits and vegetables in their own climates and soils?
As we think that we impose very restrictive health standards for our farmers and that they pay more at a discount to their product after the sell ten times (see above) more expensive to consumers than we are.
Now that junk food is much written, we find it increasingly difficult to eat healthily. Between the quality products that are expensive and the fact that we are offered more and more product discounts but produced in countries whose standards are far less burdensome, or even absent, how can we eat healthy while reviving the economy of our country?
We are the pawns of globalization and a society of drug abuse and illogical.
For those wondering, I still eventually found a brand that sells vegetables grown in France and for prices, although higher than the reference marks, but still consider it reasonable ... as a small glimmer of hope ...
