The horse meat scandal has now hit home

Absolutely. It's very easy to say "people should learn" or "they're just ignorant/lazy" but without understanding what a huge cultural shift it will take to educate them it's not very helpful. These people aren't exactly awash with resources and probably lack even the confidence to go into a butcher (assuming they've got one nearby) and risk making themselves look stupid by not knowing what to ask for, or assume everything in there is out of their budget to start with. When you can feed a family on a packet of bute-burgers and some frozen chips for £1.99, why buy a free range chicken for a £10? Processed packaged food is so much cheaper, because it's made from rubbish and made to taste better with extra salt, sugar, MSG and fat and many people simply can't afford to buy fresh raw food that takes longer to prepare and cook, nor have the first clue what to do with it if they did.

The other point to remember is that society has moved on since the days when the majority of women stayed at home with a big chunk of the day available to spend preparing and cooking meals for the family on a daily basis because that was their 'job'. Time is pressured and precious and I'm sure a fair few busy people have resorted to ready meals feeling guilty about it and knowing it's not the best choice of food, but still assuming that you should be able to trust the contents to be what they say they are.

well said! thats the most basic right .. being able to buy food that is what is said on the label.. its all ok looking down on people for being 'lazy' but there is a huge amount of people who have no choice. :(

No, never heard of him, Just I have had some ill health of late and been drinking a lot of water, I can't stand the stuff that comes out of the tap all I can smell is chlorine, then I noticed the label on the side of a mineral water bottle, and it just dawned on me! why has it got ingredients ? bit of googling and came across Agenda 21! and things are just falling into place, over populated world, running out of food, the Governments attempt at a bit of social cleansing. But I think until it actually affects us, we can't see it. Think we have some terrible times ahead of us! :-(
