I see Asda is to clearly label the country of origin on food and I hope all the others follow suit (Grant Burton, April 29).
If they had done this four years ago perhaps some pig farmers would still be in business. The fact is, pig production is nearly half of what it was four years ago and even this has failed to lift prices enough to make a profit large enough to reinvest and bring back confidence.
When labelling is clear it may be a surprise to see where much of our food comes from and how far it has travelled.
When eating out I wonder how much of the meal is imported - there is no room for a label on the plate.
