I've never left a supermarket with a headache and I like being able to go to one place and get all that I need. I don't buy into organic food necessarily being healthier than non-organic food (though I'll concede it's better for the environment). I don't see what the problem is with drinking cows' milk (and indeed, if you were going for the most natural version possible, you'd be buying unpasturised full fat milk, not pasturised skimmed milk). What's the problem with GM foods? (in terms of health - indeed, arguably they are healtier, since fewer pesticides etc will need to be used on them). The problem isn't the supermarkets themselves, the problem is what people are choosing to buy in them. If you're going to buy pre-packaged snack food then the chances are that it's going to contain specifically added chemicals. I'm lazy and tend to do my shopping on the way home in the evenings. When I'm feeling organised and want a lot of bulky things I get Tesco to deliver to me, but I don't do that very often. Karen
