Cheap Food

£60 - that’s how much the average household in Britain wastes each months by letting some of their food go bad.  

Why does food go bad in times of tight-belting, one wonders?  Are our fridges too deep for us to reach the back or have we lost our appetite?  

If so then maybe for cheap food!  

I have noticed that I value the food that I buy from our organic farm cooperative much more than the prepackaged pale looking food items that come from the big retailer.  

Cheap food and lots of it creates bad habits and lots of them.  From over-fertilization and mass production to animal cruelty and malnutrition.  


Waste per capita is the least of them.
