I agree with the sentiment, especially the garbage they don't need part. I just wanted to point out that often the least carbon intensive food comes from far away.

Things farmed by hand in climates where they naturally thrive save more in emissions during the growing/harvesting phase than they add during shipping. Sea freight is by far the most efficient method of transportation we have. Most of the emissions for food at your local store are incurred after it hits the port from somewhere way across the globe, as well as on your way home with it.
