JohnGalway Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I love it when people come on tv talking about expensive food, and let's face it some of it is damn expensive. Not everyone can afford it, so I'd entirely agree that they are needed to feed the world and it's only going to get worse not better. Try as an experiment setting a budget, say dole level, just for a week and live only on that factoring in bills etc. Because I tell ya soemthing, the gobs spouting about organic this and freerange whatever do NOT have money worries.

dazza Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I know a lot of people that live very well on the dole, in fact they live a lot better than me. And they don't live on a diet of cheap Tesco's chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Unless you see it grown / pop out you just don't know where it came from. Always some chain in the news being mugged off for buying factory grown dressed up as organic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 We are being conned big time by the sellers of "organic", "fresh", "wild", "free range" , "etc" foodstuffs. "Wild" salmon that live in cages in sea lochs and are fed on animal waste, "free range" chickens that have never set foot on grass, "organic" foods grown on farms where certain pesticides and chemicals are permitted, the list goes on and on.

SNAKEBITE Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 If you want to be 100% sure buy from a local butcher you can trust I do that when I can but then when I have a tight week then it's down to Tescos. I support the local produce when I can. As for the dole, well I can't comment because I have never been there but it does make you think when you see what goes on (allegedly).
