Gloves cause pollution - too much disposable plastic in the world today. It's even in the fish that you eat. Do you think those men are going to wear surgical gloves to climb a palm tree? Do you think the people that pick all the fruit and veg in the world wear gloves? I prefer my food natural. Remember gloves shed tiny particles that end up in the product they touched! I'm just eating a pack of these delicious Tunisian dates as they have just arrived in the shops for Christmas in the UK and I was wondering where in Tunisia they came from. Such a lot of hard work goes into these dates but they are very inexpensive and healthy! Thank you people of Tunisia :)
