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.

You could, although many will just go for what the supermarket has on the
shelf at the best price - assuming they even get the choice. As with so
much else, many require protection from themselves. But do realise that
won't go down well with many on this group where making a fast buck is all
that matters.

One of the issues is that it is unlikely we would all have the choice. That requires adequate labelling and describing. Not just in supermarkets but in restaurants and takeaways and everywhere else.

Unless they are using it as a selling point, few outlets even tell what country their chicken comes from.
