Sorry about getting bogged down in spuds, but the point is food is cheap if you buy the raw ingredients and prepare them from scratch instead of taking the ready-made option.
That is all that need be said. A simple clear message. And raw fruit is cheap as well and readily available - but just listening to the radio news and a fella talking about the food report saying must make fruit and veg more accessible and available I wondered exactly which planet he is on. In supermarkets a Cauli is 80 pence. Potatoes are 50 pence a Kg. But when I look at folks shopping trolley it ( and mine to an extent) is loaded with prepared foods - cakes, pasties, etc. Hey ho the debate will continue for years.
