Thank you for this indeed.

It is a fact that with the number of cooking shows crawling over each 
other out of the TV screen, the quality of the food products has dropped 
proportionally. my wife and I we buy part of our food in a biological 
store where products are supposed to be fresher, less toxic, fairly 
produced, locally produced, etc etc. Sadly enough, the truth is that 
more often than not this is not so. I often have doubts about the basic 
bio-label, the freshness is long gone, prices are doubled in comparison 
with regular stores. The last is one of the main reasons why it doesn't 
work of course, while some of the 'fresh' products are imported from 
countries about which I have serious doubts concerning their 
(controlled) biological food production (China? Egypt?). Biological 
footprints indeed...

Still, we manage. It is not as bad here in NL as what you tell us when 
you can keep a careful eye on what you buy in stores and supermarkets 
(something most people don't) but things are slowly breaking down and I 
dread the day when fresh food will be hard to come by...
