Re: UK to introduce carbon labels to fight climate change
A change in public mentality and perception should be needed.
I noticed that British don't find food good for how it tastes, but for how it looks. This is probably true in other countries.
How it looks means that the use of pesticides and other chemicals are necessary to appeal the public. And supermarkets actually demand this as a quality standard.
Wrong as it is. A fruit or a vegetable is grown for its nutritive value and for its taste. Not as a decorative item. It's crazy.
