Overall, food should travel shorter distances, but xenophobic undertones and stark political boundaries are not the solution. We need food systems that are built on watersheds/regional economies- nature does not understand arbitrary borders. Hellmans has an economic incentive for you to “buy Canadian,” but it is assinine to suggest that Vancouverites can support local food purchasing from Ontario instead of Washington.
