[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 856758, member: 12578"] Well I used to boycott goods from S Africa but that was many moons ago ;) I actually don't live in the UK, I live in a very old fashioned area of France and it's much easier to eat very few manufactured or imported products. It's undoubtedly changing but the global market hasn't totally made it's mark here in the same way as the UK. Food is probably cheaper in the UK than here but people there often seem to go for quantity over quality. Actually, coconut oil would be hard to find, the same applies to English cheese , New Zealand lamb and Kenyan green beans . Thinking of my regular purchases, only tea, coffee and spices come from any distance away. I actually doubt that I could find coconut oil locally (there's a guy in the market that sells chestnut oil though; that is a local thing as chestnuts used to be the local staple food) [/QUOTE]
