I am amazed that with so many gripes about supermarkets and their rising prices, or over use of packaging, under stocked shelves etc., that people still continue to use them. Why not do your food shopping locally?

| 11-1-2008 | @Biologist - the problem with GM food is not the harm it might do to you - but the harm it might do to other species of plants!
Because...
1. Plants cross fertilise each other using the air and/or insects as a vector.
2. Genes are therefore spread between plant species (many of which are ve...more | sas |
| 07-6-2007 | Family/High Street grocers continually moan about supermarkets putting them under pressure. I can remember that before the advent of supermarkets these "small" grocers held the working class to ransom.

I largely agree with your comments but would have to say that I do have a few reservations about GM goods. I have no objection to the artificial removal of potentially harmful bi-products/infections etc. I am however concerned about what replaces them. I don't want to be in the ...more | fairview |
| 30-1-2007 | Where can I find on the Internet a really cheap supplier of bulk genetically modifed fruit and vegetables? I don't care if my food is GM. The promised revolution in the food industry has been passed over in favour of the fanatics and organics in our society. They, the organic farmers, have spre...more | Biologist |

| 26-1-2007 | Snob-cleanser,
I take great offence at your assumption that I think I am better than you. I am not better than anyone (and probablly a lot worse than some). If your only experience of organic produce is some 'East-Ender' (sorry East-Enders - I am but quoting!) trying to make a fast buck, ...more | jod |

I'll back you up on what you say.
People these days are brainwashed, espeicially about ORGANIC foods. If they didn't use fertilizer, or pesticides, there wouldn't be ANY food to sell.

Your box of veggies is the latest marketing gimmick. Believe you me some East-Ender has seen a way to make a very fast buck. They are appealing to your apparent sense of wanting to buy "Organic". The so-called Organic Revolution in this country is nothing more ...more | Snob cleanser |

Neither can I see the logic in 'Snob's' point. It seems sad that someone is so full of bitterness!! How awful to be so ill informed and pessimistic with it!

| 24-1-2007 | I shop by using a combination of both the local store and supermarkets. If I can buy it locally, and the cost is not ridiculously higher, then I do. I mainly use the supermarkets for things that I cannot buy locally.

| 24-1-2007 | The reason that there are few local bakers, greengrocers, butchers, fruiterers etc. to where you live is not so much because there is a large hypermarket on the outskirts of your town, but because the landlords of the properties which were formerly used by those trades have decided that it is far mo...more | Snob cleanser |
