A few pence on a lettuce no your right.
But a few pence on all produce related to this environment adds up to a lot of pence.
Some people Rudi need to budget for every penny they have.
You shouldn't assume it won't affect anybody.

And a lot of people haven't a clue how to shop or cook.

There is probably a smallholding producing artisan dwarf carrots for the local Tweedy beardy craft beer overspill who can't afford Dulwich who will take them as an 'intern,' for no money.

Good. Do we want a society where people have to be imported to work for a pittance so we can have cheaper consumerism? Same with Uber, we want a cheaper taxi which means someone else is being undercut and having to work for a pittance

We all pay the price at the end of the day whether it be tax credits or wage stagnation, food banks; it filters through to everyone's daily life in some form or another.

We should make a real change after brexit, make the living wage law and pay people what they are worth. You get what you pay for in this world

I think that the answer to your question is fairly obvious as people vote with their wallets so it seems that the answer is yes.

This also applies to meat and the huge demand for cheaper and cheaper meat is the main reason why chickens and pigs are raised in such poor conditions.

Pay people what they are worth or what they think they are worth as there is a big difference.

Is there such a demand for cheaper meat and food ? Or is it more a case of people can't afford it? It's a vicious cycle.

Look at our high street - basement price shops doing well like Lidl, Primark, Poundshops, then there's loan companies, pawnshops and betting shops. Anything higher end is dying on it's arse. Borrowing is at record highs. A reflection of British society, and a current wealth imbalance.

For once I agree with you. Cheaper isn't always better, especially for the people you force to carry that cost. The people, all of them, come first, not companies or profits.
