[QUOTE="andybk, post: 7858676, member: 347"] The issue is the "we are the cheapest message "supermarkets keep peddling , the consumer has lost all value of a basic necessity.(who really picks up a bottle of milk and looked at the price ? did anyone ever , they just buy what they need for the week !) Most of the ultra processed (cheap) food is usually the bits normal food manufacture throws away , or the low value cuts , all this reformed meat that is power washed off carcases reformed into cheap burgers , curries etc in the freezer cabinet , how you convince joe public to buy less better quality food is a tough one , there is still to much being thrown away, not enough thought goes into buying it , lots of impulse buys , Best before dates another thing , while a good guide is read by the housewife as a do not use guide and in the bin it goes , inc cheese lol There are numerous small shops selling near date stuff around here now, we have never had anything that was off from any of them (we use them regularly ) , so im really not sure the best before dates are working in creating less waste the opposite in fact , as its replaced in the next visit to tesco . Supermarkets rely on impulse buys be interesting to know what % gets thrown out after a few weeks . I would bet the carbon in manufacture / transport / disposal of these items (many wrapped in plastic ) would eclipse any carbon given off from farm animals in normal production that gets used as it should [/QUOTE]
