How and why the British food culture has changed


Ok, capitalism has created a system in the uk where people don't eat anymore never mind cook or even grow their own food. How?

Time? we are not allowed a lunch break? why not? ok sure your saying we get 30mins or even an 1hr, come on i could spend 30mins in the toilet.

We need to look to our italian and french friends for help. I once wanted to buy a venetian mask in venice on my hols. The shop was closed, and i was heading home that day, and really wanted one of these masks, as they were hand-made by two famous venetian brothers, who own two shops, it said on the shop, closed until 2pm, i waited until 2.45pm when along came a happy laid back brother, who greeted me with a big smile and said he was out to lunch with his brother and got lost in conversation over a great lunch and vino. He said if people really want my product they will wait for me, and so i did.

ok how many people are afraid to take apiss in the work-place for fear of their boss watching them take too long...(call-centre-come on u know wot i mean)

Ok we need to grow our own food, stop eating supermarket crap and demand home-made or organic produce, and buy from local producers.

thanks for now
