We're doomed!
Maybe it's the mood induced by the horrendous nine and a half hour drive to Canterbury on motorways congested to near-paralysis, but two book reviews today really resonate:

Force feeding (Reviews of Not on the Label: What Really Goes into the Food on Your Plate
by Felicity Lawrence, and Shopped: The Shocking Power of British Supermarkets
by Joanna Blythman)

Britain in 2002: 4,000 hours of cookery programmes on TV and 900 books on food and cooking, just 20 minutes, on average, preparing each main meal. British consumers now spend £7,000 a minute on ready meals, three times more than any other European country.
Supermarket delivery lorries, travel one billion kilometres every year, accounting for 40% of the lorry traffic on UK roads.
The supermarkets now sell more than 80% of the food we eat at home.
