My children are currently sitting on a bench in Ontario Canada eating some popsicles. Popsicles that were made in Turkey?
I just don’t understand the economics of mixing sugar, water, and color, then ship them across a freaking ocean. How is that cheaper than making them in North America?
What was the CO2 impact to save them … not much? Turkey also has a much higher percentage of fossil fuels in their energy mix than Canada.
