Food we just buy it dont we

We dont think where it comes from or what it takes to grow it. And excuse me if you know better but too many dont.

A simple field of wheat to make what, bread. Its a big field its kept free of crop pests and weeds and a loaf of bread costs what?

A simple field of potatoes to make what, chips, crisps.Again the field is kept free of pests and weeds but look at the left of the photo that's a huge reservoir because potatoes need a lot of water and the farmer cannot guarantee he will be able to take it from the local rivers. So he builds a reservoir and when its filled usually over winter its his water to do with as he wishes and uses pumps, pipes and mobile irrigators to make his crops grow. And all for a packet of crisps or a portion of chips.

Its too easy to walk into a shop and buy food any food, we expect the shelves to be full and everything to be cheap.
