“We import about 60 per cent of our food from the U.S"

that doesn't make sense to me and, if it is true at all, it must refer almost entirely to prepackaged junk food. the only items in my diet that are clearly american in origin are oranges and doritos, and i an get the oranges from mexico, i'm sure.

i would actually support increasing taxes on pre-packaged junk food as a public health policy.
