I'll throw in that a lot of remote Aboriginal communities have this problem very severely*. How much do you think it costs to truck refrigerated vegetables 1,500 kms to a community of maybe 500 people, most of whom are scraping by on some kind of government support?

This is just one of the many interconnected problems.

* For "very severely" I almost wrote "in spades". [hangs head in shame for even thinking it].
