Good on yer, Greyeyes. buying from the 'quality' end of the market is certainly a start and is something I will be doing far more of from now on.

I used to think it was daft buying, say, a 1Kg piece of scottish beef when I could buy 2kg of the 'supermarket special' for the same price. I now realise it was just my greed. I don't need 2Kg but it is all you can get if you want to buy cheap. I end up giving some to the cat!

Can anyone show me though how to determine that the extra cost is realy going to the food producers to improve standards and not to a greedy middle-man? It would certainly help pacify the side of my brain that hunts for bargains! And I suspect it would then become a better argumant for everyone to take up.

Cheers
