Yes, I do understand that. My point is that people can buy all kinds of fruit and veg which is seasonal in this country, at any time of the year, by flying or shipping it in from other countries. Why? Who wants sour strawberries in November? Someone does... or there'd be no supply. It seems greedy and stupid.
