Processed foods, easier to access ready meals/takeaways, loss of cooking/baking skills, poverty to a point, but most of all poor lifestyle choices. Lack of self respect and discipline, the good foods are there just as much as the bad ones. Lazyness of modern living give them the easy option. And a good balanced diet with equally good phiz is the best way to conteract it.

Look in the chilled fresh veg section of any supermarket now and you'll find mashed potato, mashed swede, peeled & sliced or diced carrots etc etc etc. I must admit to occasionally buying mashed potato & swede but that's only because Morrison's have knocked it down to £0.09p and it would cost more in gas to boil the spuds.

You'll lose your skills. Then, they'll up their prices to nine quid and you'll be stuffed.
