It's a long time since I wrote under the category Simply Eat, but with the current meat scandal here in UK and Europe about the horse content in processed foods labelled 'beef' it looks like a good time to revisit the subject.

Sadly we are being lied to and cheated on a huge scale.

What can we do about it?

My blog began in 2010 with a post under Simply Eat as I tried to think my way through the ethical minefiled that is food shopping. If you have time do scroll down and browse my Simply Eat posts (you will find them under Categories in the right hand column).

The 'Great Grandma Rule' (here) might make you smile. You might enjoy the food manifesto I found (click here), or my view of shopping in a supermarket might resonate with you (click here).

What do you think of the latest food scandal?


On another note - yes, James Joyce was the author of the last line in yesterday's post Cath! It is from the short story The Dead in The Dubliners - a book I could never tire of.

you are so right freda! i enjoyed this post, plus referring back to the others you offered....just back from the grocery store myself...besides the economic costs of processed foods, the health costs, and the landfill costs.. it seems our culture promotes the idea that we must be eating and drinking constantly! the snacks and bottled drinks aisles just stun me!

We do have to learn not to be manipulated so easily, and to make our own choices, and maybe to see that our children can resist too!!
(Not easy.....but..)
