Nick Stace, campaigns and communications director at Which, said food marketers were "embedding unhealthy food choices from a very young age and adding to the UKs rising child obesity problems. How can parents be expected to give their children a healthy, balanced diet when these sophisticated, underhand techniques are targeting their children, often behind their backs"

At the same time, people want to spend less for food, have it ready-to-eat, fresh year round and not involve any chemicals. That is an impossible order to fill, but the public is so disconnected from their food source they do not realize it would be impossible to produce todays quality and quantity of food using 19th century methods.
