Supermarkets obsessing over lower prices is a good thing actually. Cheap food is like the first things societies need to be functional. Sucks for farmers, but the rest of us are eating good because of the work the markets put in.
- skippyboxedhero 4y agoNot when you already have extremely low prices. We aren't talking about massive numbers, literally pence in the kg. Most consumers wouldn't notice any difference, it is all totally pointless. The same is happening with eggs, with milk, supermarkets are playing "hard ball" with people whose choice is: receive the higher price, or produce nothing...we took the produce nothing option. We need local production that rewards people for work and investment. And you are saying "cheap food" is needed...okay, the price is low but there is no food. How does no food rank on your system of things required in society? You are clueless because you are, presumably, imagining somewhere like the US where food is cripplingly expensive. That isn't the case here, food is cheap but so cheap that often results in there being no supply of some products. People can't conceive of farmers and workers actually needing money to buy their own food.
