The trouble is the governments agricultural policy is all about "raising standards" in other words making us all become high cost producers, then import shite produced to lower standards, to be sold as a "value" range, which they encourage consumers to buy, rather than the higher standard but more expensive UK product.What nonsense.
What is wrong with advising "value brands" instead of over priced manufacturer own brands ?
Try comparing Kellogg's Frosties v Supermarket own brand, which maybe half the price or less, or alternatives to Cadbury, especially biscuits, which maybe one third of the price.
Are we now so vain, that unless we can afford top notch best gear, the Government should be brought down.
I fancy a bit of Beluga 000 caviar at £3500.00 for 500g on my toast for breakfast, so if it means cancelling the wife's Electrolysis appointments and she has to keep the beard, look out Boris !!
Have you ever thought the some of the value brands maybe come from the same factory, as the original ?The trouble is the governments agricultural policy is all about "raising standards" in other words making us all become high cost producers, then import shite produced to lower standards, to be sold as a "value" range, which they encourage consumers to buy, rather than the higher standard but more expensive UK product.
That terrible, a sandwich?Friends kid had home economics lesson at school food prep ( how to make a cheese sandwich) !
Yes with less beans in the tin etc.Have you ever thought the some of the value brands maybe come from the same factory, as the original ?
It's a crying shame that it wasn't him that was caught searching for "Dominators".George Eustice is a blithering idiot. The bloke is thick and shouldn’t be let out on his own.
Give it time …….. he’ll be the first out when Boris does a reshuffle because of these election results.It's a crying shame that it wasn't him that was caught searching for "Dominators".
sadly there is a lot wrong with thinking 'value brands' are a good way to overcome food poverty.What nonsense.

It always amazes me that he can remind himself to breatheGeorge Eustice is a blithering idiot. The bloke is thick and shouldn’t be let out on his own.
Well here is a direct comparison with all the technical data, which would you buy ?sadly there is a lot wrong with thinking 'value brands' are a good way to overcome food poverty.
Very often, the value brands just mimic the highly processed items that people want to fill their trolleys with because it is simply cheaper. The food stuffs in these brands is not cheaper because of lack of red tractor assurance, they are cheaper because they have been filled out with palm oil based fats and corn based carbohydrates . The dietary nightmare that leads to obesity.
The simple answer to cheaper food is to understand firstly what food is and secondly how to prepare and cook it. It's not rocket science, just common sense.
As said above, education. Home Economics would solve a lot of the nation's NHS, health, welfare and food poverty problems in one swoop.
Sadly, politicians or corporate food processors would never question the value of 'value brands' because there is too much money to be made out of cheap food.
