How many kilometers has the food travelled. Listen again and write the numbers in the boxes. What is the total?

Freya is enjoying her favorite meal, a hamburger with a slice of tomato in it. A glass of orange juice and an apple and a bar of chocolate for later. except for the bread for hamburger. None of this food has come from the UK. In fact, her food has come from all over the world. The oranges for her juice have come from Florida in the USA. They have made a journey of over 8000 km. Even further than this is the meat in her hamburger. This has come all the way from Argentina. More than 11,000 km away. The tomatoes have made a shorter journey, just 1600 km from Spain. The cocoa beans to make the chocolate have come from Nigeria in West Africa. That’s a journey of about 5000 km. Finally that apple. Of course apples grow in the UK, but because it’s February. There are no apples on British trees. Freya’s Apple has come from South Africa over 9000 km away. That’s a lot of food miles for one small meal. Can you work out the total?
