Unfortunately Daniel, we are arguing with 'Muricans.
Have you ever tried one of their recipes? Makes the French diet look low fat, low meat and positively altruistic. So I can understand where these young hippies are coming from.
As for the import and export market, we in Australia can do very well without any import of vegetables, meat, raw materials. Other countries? Not so much. (as far as can understand it) I am still waiting for PETA to take the Islamic countries and Israel to task for the prescribed "cruelty" of Halal and Kosher treatment of their food animals.
Further, did anyone see the article regarding the death of 4,000 sheep bound for Saudi Arabia? Now there is a cute little situation. Saudi Arabia is unable to feed it's population but hey it (via iSlam) has managed to coerce the rest of S-E Asia into supplying what it doesn't have....water to feed crops and livestock.
