Just saying.
if you do no buy regular chicken(the white-ish one), pick only organic vegetables and always buy fruits you will see a different story.
I would not mind having the food the nordics have and paying slightly more but food in uk is already bad. If you add chlorinated chicken on top and imported products from all over the globe with questionable quality and a high price ... people will be annoyed.
most of the academics are family people on 30k max and FTC, they'll vote with their feet when their contract expires.

The problem with the above, there are only a finite amount of milk which means at some point, something has to give. A few years old but still very relevant: Brexit and the Dairy Sector

I have a few kg’s I would like to shed, eating frugally might actually help.
