Gordon prefers locally grown seasonal food. Good for him. But he wants to throw you in jail for buying strawberries from Kenya. That’s bad news for you and Kenyan farmers.
Amazingly I agree with something someone from Oxfam says: “the million farmers in east Africa who rely on exporting their goods to scrape a living would see Gordon Ramsay’s assertions as a recipe for disaster”.
Then again, on their website: “we support calls for strong political action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions”.
Hmm.
The sweary chef has a new book coming out I think.
That might well explain this strange outburst from him.
