I've just been standing in the queue at my local supermarket. And from where I stood, I could not see a shelf containing anything but alcohol, chocolate or tobacco.
Oh, plus a stack of pumpkins... being sold to be played with (for Halloween) rather than eaten.
So, basically no food in sight. And nothing that would really do you much good from a nutritional point of view.
In fact, even if you ventured into the foodier sections of the same establishment, you'd be hard-pressed to find any food that was either fresh or good for you.
As renegade medic Dr Vernon Coleman once pointed out in typically pithy style: "If you eat crap in packets, you'll feel like a packet of crap."
And crap in packets is so often all that surrounds us. It's depressing.
