What really irks me about the current trend in the UK food culture, is the
meaningless and unattributable declarations of organic, chemical and
pesticide-free, line caught, fair-trade, pixie-picked and any other
feelgood, right-on appellation that adds an extra 10 quid to the shopping
bill.

It's all utter bullshit.
