So we have a conundrum. A rapidly fattening population with no access to quality meat and veg - and this after 10 years.........
I agree it is supply and demand. Our organic farmer may drive 40 miles to market and then not be able to sell his produce simply because the demand is there but the means to buy it is not. The real problem is the global market in crap meat which means that we eat too much meat and expect it to cost next to nothing. One solution would be to halve our meat intake and keep our weekly budget the same (i.e. buy organic/local).
Another solution would be to have a government that didn't allow the importation of s**t for its people to eat, i.e. meddle with the market.
Did I say that out loud?
