WE keep hearing it said that the public demands cheap food. I disagree.
I have asked friends and customers of my business (not a food business) and no one says they demand cheap food. Everyone wants quality and value. What use is cheap, tasteless food?
The Government after the last war instructed farmers to grow more food at cheaper prices. Look what this led to!
It is the supermarkets who demand cheap food. They force prices down so the consumer will go to their supermarket. It is not the public demanding cheap food from them.
