What’s happened to our food?


Do you ever look in people’s shopping trolleys to see what they’ve bought for dinner?
If you have, what’s the bet:

  • You’ll see boxes of ready-made meals taking up loads of space

  • But what real value are they getting for their money?

  • Do those beautifully labeled boxes of processed food warrant the prices we pay for them

  • They’re labeled with pictures of delicious looking food

  • But what’s inside is always a disappointment

If you’ve always bought ready-made meals, check out the difference in cost between them and what you’d pay to make that meal yourself. Over a month this could be as much as the cost of a meal out for four Local Food Suppliers

Years ago, before I knew much about how our food is manufactured, and long before I came to realize that we’ve in fact had our food stolen from us by the food manufacturing industry; Food Standards Agency I can remember longing to earn enough to buy all my family’s food requirements from Marks & Spencers or Waitrose.

But now I know better:



  • Not only do I have more money to spend on our food because fresh and organic food is cheaper than processed meals

  • But we are also healthier

  • Finding new recipes is loads of fun

  • And I really enjoy cooking for friends and families on Sundays

  • It’s great to have lots of people around our dining room table

  • Enjoying good food and wine, with some controversial banter to spice things up


Nowadays I never buy ready-made meals and have reduced my kitchen waste so re-cycling is a lot simpler too Planet Ark

Visit us again soon for more on Real Food and how to make it!
