“Your polytunnel needs you: Not enough Britons are responding to a patriotic appeal…”

The title of this post goes by the title of an article in the last number of “The Economist”. It concerns the fact that UK agriculture has a shortage of 70.000 workers and the fact that Englishmen (and Irish, Scots and Welsh) are not interested in the Government patriotic campaign “Pick for Britain”. As consequence planes loaded with Romanian workers are bringing the most needed farm workers.

Similarly, in USA 400.000 undocumented workers are essential so agriculture in California can produce half of the fruits and vegetables consumed in that country. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/31/us-coronavirus-outbreak-california-farm-workers still nobody has ever heard the racist Donal Trump (who wanted immigrants from Norway) say that they should go home because unemployed hard-working Americans would love to work on those farms ! On the contrary, they are now viewed as essentials! 
Its most ironic how the so-called superior races need the help of inferior races to have food on their table !

P.S - Still concerning food take a look into the USA League of Eating Contests and now into the article published yesterday on the Washington Post that speaks about a hunger pandemic !
