yeah but we are doing this to ourselves! the supermarkets don’t label things with country of origin or they are misleading! we want cheaper things (fair enough) but the cheap stuff can ONLY be made overseas due to their country’s lax food regulation laws. I hope everyone bought aussie prawns for chrissie! the prawns that come from overseas farms, are grown in shocking conditions. The farm owners live on the banks of the ponds and their fecal matter goes straight through a hole in the floor, into the pond water that your prawns are grown in. These conditions would not be allowed over here! if people knew the truth about their food, they would be shocked! a good doco is called FOOD INC and it is about the american food system. That is a shock doc for sure

This is so frustrating. I find IGA and FarmerJacks better for Australian grown and processed foods

reading labels of food products

I’d say because its cheaper for them and helps them gain more profit. It is not right though.

That’s pretty bad they didn’t have an Australian brand. We have a woolies closest to us so I’m going to look out how many aussie brands They have for items. IGA often have local produce in the shelves but overall are harder to do ‘big’ shops at as they have less.

Google the foods you purchase and find the Oz ones/brands – it may help you when shopping?

it is so frustrating! It makes me mad!
