Ethical shopping

I am well aware of the benefits to the local economy and the world in general when I shop locally. What isn't mentioned, though, is that, when you return to your car heavily-laden after shopping locally, your arms are 3" longer than when you set off. This does mean you can scratch your feet without bending over, which is a useful attribute to have if you're prone to itchy feet.

What is interesting though is the realisation of how much I'm actually spending on fruit and veg. When I shop in Sainsburys, it's all in together and I have no idea what proportion is attributable to what foodstuffs. But spending on fruit and veg is good ... isn't it?
