That's the whole point! Too much food is imported, and we need to stop creating the demand~ In the local supermarket, you can tell which food is actually from within Japan as it will say 国内 somewhere on the label. It's also generally labelled what country it from otherwise, like my local supermarket does regular deals on cheap poor-quality Brazilian chicken. <br><br>Cheese is a difficult one. I think it's a sacrifice you need to make. There are only two kinds of cheese made in Japan - sliced and grated! lol... Thanks for your comments “qwyrxian “.

Packaging is an entirely separate issue, and I totally agree that the Japanese produce that is packaged excessively is probably not the best option for the environment.

As for imported food, I'm not ignoring that fact that 60% is imported at all – I'm trying to change it! That's the whole point!

Also, it's not necessarily correct to assume that food produced and sold in Japan is more environmentally friendly--as a good example, look at the way high quality fruit is packaged in Japan. Yes, getting your home brand meat sauce is probably worse for the world and your wallet than making it yourself, but opting for a local cheese (for example) may be equally as expensive and not necessarily better for the environment (and, of course, not be even slightly comparable by taste) But you're seeming to ignore the fact that something like 60% of ALL Japanese food is imported.
