We love cheap food

Its greed that ruined small holders and nursery gardeners. We all run to the supermarkets for ever cheaper and cheaper food. We did not care where in the world it came from or how little the farmers there got paid.

Although many pay lip service to 'ethical' food, we would still rather pay 50p for a foreign cabbage than £1.50 for one grown locally, even though its fresher has a small carbon footprint and gives work to an English farmer/small holder.

I am just as guilty as everyone else, as an OAP I cannot really afford to be ethical or even organic!
