Yet we want to import cheap food from the US. Always knew Brexiteers

Could we not just choose to buy English food/chicken rather than US.


I suspect they will fudge the labelling so you get no choice. And lock up
anyone who tries to publicise food origins as "terrorists". Or even
worse, "counter terrorists".

The chicken I buy is labelled. Small print but it says Origin-UK.

That's assuming that there isn't a ready pool of people who simply won't
have the luxury of paying a bit extra for non-US food.

Well if they don't have much money shouldn't we give them the choice how
to spend it.
