Off the top of my head part 2

Organic Food
Wait a minute... We invent ingenious, efficient and cheap ways to make food bigger and more resilient and suddenly everyone wants food from the dark ages? WHAT THE HELL? If genetic modification means we can create a carrot that can feed ten people and grow in arid conditions, we should do it immediately! We'd save money, prevent famine and solve a lot of problems, but oh no, we have to have an anorexic carrot that wouldn't feed a single rabbit because people think a GM modified food will attack them and rampage through Tokyo.

Healthy Eating
If I go to Tesco's and buy an unhealthy shop, full of pizzas and the like, it will be cheaper than if I buy a healthy shop of fruit, veg, rice, pasta etc to the tune of £20. How does that work? How does buying the individual ingredients of a pizza cost more than actually buying a ready made pizza?

Despite this, we are told we must eat healthily and must eat our five a day. GET FUC*ED!

Pizza
I hate the organic thing too - I vote GM every time
I have to disagree with you about pizza though - to make from scratch if you've got stuff in your cupboard:
flour - 15p per base
yeast - about 1p per pizza base
sugar - 1p
oil - 5p
can of tomatoes - 21p - makes two toppings
1 onion -10p - 2x toppings
oregano - 2-3p
mozarella - 58p for 1 ball (2 x pizzas)
meat toppings obviously cost more, but veggie toppings like mushrooms, peppers or just plain cheese are really cheap.
