> how fucked the food supply chain is

Oh great, and there's me thinking it was only an amusingly trivial contribution to the nation's woes. Now I've got this whole calamity to worry about.

And by the way, the idea that supermarket meat is inedible is absurd. A fillet or sirloin from Tesco, and I'm sure others, is perfectly delicious.

Tesco (in particular) almost exclusively buys the stuff that no-one else will buy. Go through the steaks they have at your local supermarket, awful. All their cuts are awful, even ones costing £8, because they have an obsession with cutting corners.

The only supermarket that has decent meat is Aldi. But if you compare this to product sold into food service, it isn't close.

Try getting meat from Donald Russell or Tom Hixson, its not much more expensive but there is a world of difference between it and supermarket meat.
