It is exactly the opposite. People have the option of buying direct and more and more are. More and more are growing their own and keeping their own livestock.
Back when supermarkets started this push for low priced food it was what we wanted. We buy battery reared chickens for cheap meat ignoring the free range options. Supermarkets responded.
The idea we are in a free market though is incorrect. The government has a finger in every pie and where their fingers are is waste and corruption. We have never been a free market in the UK. Just look at the differences between the US and us and you can see what a free market was doing.
