Since we are concentrating on food prices, it is worth pointing-out that family food bills constituted (on average) 20% of the household budget in the 1960s. That figure currently runs to 11% and I have heard lower figures touted.

Where does the cheapo in "cheapo food" come from? Countries that welcome the revenue. Countries that are not exactly growing obese.

So when these countries realise their population is rising faster than western Eurpe, and the public are ever more savvy - how much of that cheapo food will stay at home to feed the angry mob?

Now factor-in global warming that is pushing optimum growing latitudes ever further to the poles, resulting in pest control getting ever more chemical, and yields falling in hotter climes &/or new less suitable terrain........

Food prices will be unfavourably affected.

Throw in Brexshit and vendors have a perfect excuse to hide the necessary re-balance in a "not my fault" excuse. It happened with decimisation. It happened with metrication. Plus ça change. History repeats itself, it has to, nobody listens.

Of course we can grow our own, picked by cheapo migrant labour from where? Calais?
