As AL pointed out if we are going to survive and thrive we need to be growing our own grub and keeping animals in part at least.
Also as BP points out we have 63 million people living on an island that can sustain about 20 million.

We've had it too easy for too long, and basically it's going to come back to bite us. It's ridiculous to expect top quality stuff for no money. The big supermarkets hold all the producers to ransom, and it is just an incentive to cheat. We need to start paying decent prices for decent food. Better still, get producing our own!
I just feel very sorry for those families who haven't got any choices.
