A decline in the quality of fresh produce. Discuss

[Tuearts right boot]

The temporary labour shortage could be filled.
Every city and town I visit has people wasting their lives on the streets, trying to scrounge money for drugs (incl drink) - get 'em planting/harvesting crops!
Also senior school pupils/ students, get 'em helping in the fields a couple of hours a day during the 6 weeks holiday, not slavery, wouldn't do 'em any harm.
Litter picking too, then they might think twice about dropping food wrappers etc.
This once great nation needs to get a grip.

Ooooh !! Wishing work upon the precious snowflakes.........how dare you think such thoughts.

Roughly 1% of the population work in agriculture in the UK,



Even if we used all of our land we couldn't feed all of the population, too many people on this planet and too many shortcuts making shit food. It wont be too long until the majority of us will be being fed government prescribed pellets.

Good.

Good.

And we will import even more people to distribute the pellets to the population, before long we'll be like battery Chickens :)

Someone has to serve us our latte and pellets. Because old folk just flatly refuse to die when they become non viable economically we need more and more units of productivity. These units of productivity, us, need to eat drink shit drive a beemer, have an insta worthy holiday, multiple clothes from China etc etc etc.

grow and grow and grow and grow. Barely enough time to moan about food becoming shit, sea full of plastic,rivers full of shit, floods, dementia and cancer rates.

Human beings they fuck things up and then complain about things being fucked up..
