A ton of produce is imported here, too. It's often easier to import from the southern hemisphere for things otherwise out of season. Tariffs on that would be asinine, of course, but these people are morons so...
Should we really import products that are out of season though?
While it is ideal to eat within season, it's not inherently bad that we import things that are in season elsewhere. Global supply chains can be eco-friendly and the alternative can actually be more wasteful (like growing in places without water but a lot of sun, like Cali) but they do need to be pressured into doing it that way.
Honestly, the other alternative is just going back to pre-global trade, which would be a few centuries. I'm down for bringing back wind sails, though!
