Well I too frequent Asdas and Tescos (and Lidls) both up north and in the poorest parts of the westcountry and I do glance occasionally at other people's trolley contents. I've seen a few packed as you describe, I've seen a few packed with well-chosen veg, fruit and meat and I've seen most that are somewhere on a spectrum in between. I see far fewer mothers hanging around having a fag than I used to. Tattoos and facial ornamentation are not for me but as far as I'm concerned they are means of self-expression In the same way as hairstyles, beards and colours of clothing are. I won't begin to try to judge anyone's character by their tattoos. There's a chap in Bude whose every inch of skin from head to foot is tattooed and he's a lovely man. With respect, I did find your post to be broad-brush and judgemental. Capitalism throws fast food, convenience food and other high-salt, high-sugar, high-fat processed rubbish at us constantly and incessantly. In schools, cookery is a Cinderella, girlie subject. Jamie Oliver tried his damnedest to popularise healthy eating in schools and failed abysmally. The parents with limited cooking skills are confronted by an unstoppable tide of cheap rubbish that can be whacked on the plate in minutes and which the kids will actually eat. I think you are blaming things on the wrong people.
