What if I drive the five minute walk to a shopping centre (the drive actually taking longer than the walk due to the slow process of finding a parking space) in order to buy a ready-prepared sandwich that has been shipped there from hundreds of miles away, made with ingredients from thousands of miles away?

dont get into the 'food miles' thing, and if you do remember this: you can put 'made in england' on your pack as long as the product is assembled in england. i recon a terrifyingly tiny amount of 'best of British' food has seen more of the archipelago then the airport and packing plant.
