The Economist is bewailing the effect of Great Depression 2.0 on the British diet. Sales of organic food is down, sales of fresh meat and fish is down. Sales of heat-n-eats (TV dinners) are up. Oh woe is Merry Old England. Even lower than pub grub is a TV dinner.
According to the Economist, many Brits actually like TV dinners, which makes them doubly sinful. How can we keep all those upper lips stiff eating food that actually tastes good (or at least reasonably OK)? You have to wonder have well connected the Economist really is. In America only kids really like TV dinners. Grownups will eat them, but are less than enthusiastic about them. I would have thought the Brits would work the same way.
