Amazing that they would go to all that bother when you could simply
grow the things, that would surely have to be cheaper, you'd think?
But then, if it were I'm sure they'd do just that.

Either way, I hope they make it clear on the packaging exactly what it
is. If that was tried here in Australia, I don't think they would be
in business for very long!
