Scary Food

Jase and I try to get to the Farmers' Market in Chiswick every other week (and sometimes every week) to buy what we feel to be fresh food. However, we do some food shopping at our local supermarkets because it is so convenient.

I'm sure that some supermarkets are better than others and some branches are worse than others, but this news article really shocked me:

Be wary of scary food out there! I think the important thing to take away from this is not to buy from the "fresh meat" counter...

Yeah I read that article earlier, and it was very scary.

Thing is, if this is what the big supermarkets are doing to save costs, what about the local butcher stores who are really feeling the pinch from the large supermarkets on the outskirts of town? What are they up to in an effort to cut costs?

I think I'll only eat Salt & Vinegar crisps from now on...
