I read this morning that the reason frozen veg outfits are closing is
because demand has dropped dramatically.
A while back I was
told fresh veg are no longer in great demand.
My guess is that
potatoes go against this trend, as will soy and other rubbish
bean-type stuff.
A wander down the
local high street reinforces that thought, with a very large
percentage of fat arses and bellies, being propelled by spindly legs
and topped by bland, uninterested faces. Sir Bob Jones explored this
phenomena in “True Facts”. I recommend the read.
Add the number of
sub-Continent and Asian originating people using dried, imported
ingredients and the lack of demand starts to make sense.
When I went to
school we were educated not just in reading, writing, adding etc. But
in life. We were given tales of the life experiences of teachers and
their acquaintances.
We knew, before high
school, the value of food and had drummed into us the effects the
right sort of foods had on our ability to do the things we dreamed
about.
We did also have one
advantage: We couldn’t afford junk food.
Unlike today we were
actually, on the current scale, dirt poor. We had (as families) no
choice but to grow and consume our own food, topping that up only
when finances permitted.
I wonder if all
these facts are related.
Parents and children
have suffered (are suffering) a New Zealand school experience where
everything comes from a book (usually a communist book – but I
digress), where the teacher, by regulation, must keep their life
remote, hidden from their charges and education is forbidden; it gets
in the way of the indoctrination.
Could it be that the
current generations (parent and child) are suffering and human kind
is regressing because those generations, having been given everything
on a tray, simply do not know how to live, let alone progress?
Could it be they
don’t even understand how to prepare and consume actual food?
