That's the thing isn't it, people won't pay a proper price for things and then like to lecture the people who do things like this about how they should be working whilst refusing to pay a reasonable price.
All the farmers are on the edge of going bust here cos the supermarkets have them locked in to cheap prices that don't cover their costs. They are probably missing all that EU money as well right enough.
Bloody Brits, lol

I've been hearing price controls will eventually make their way to the US as well and that concerns me. Has it gotten really bad by you?
Food inflation has. There are no price controls yet although the Government have asked but not told large corps to reign them in. It is getting expensive just to live from month to month though
Its a real dichotomy between cost to the consumer and fair pricing to supplier, especially if that supplier is just an SME. I don't particularly blame the supermarkets, they are just businesses doing what businesses do, trying to make money for the shareholders and wanting the best possible value for their customers.
There are no answers. Just another one to chalk down to human nature being absolutely contrary!
Human nature being an absurd series of bastardry!!
