It started with the coalition government coming after your vitamins and supplements…lead into them wanting to reduce methane - which we all know means culling of herds to extinction and now they are coming after your vegetables too.
The New P2 plastic ban would thrust us back into 1970s-80s era for fruit and vegetables where a lot of items weren’t available year round, seasonally and locally grown only, and rotted in the grocery bags before you got them home.
On top of this, because of the added spoilage, in store, you can count on any item that is available to be a lot more expensive.

Now…look at affordability, where we’re at right now.
A lot of people aren’t able to buy a lot of fruits and only essentials on some veg and are instead subbing in ZERO value fillers to complete their meals…again, just like we did in the 70s-80s. Rice, pasta or potatoes as meal fillers…potatoes as available.
And when you consider that the processed grains are leading to the on-growing problem of obesity and malnutrition…you’d have to wonder why anybody would make these more abundant for consumption by driving up the costs and lowering availability of better quality foods…if they cared about their health.
