Tonight's Channel Four documentary about rising food prices was shocking - not just because of the soaring figures nor just because of the profits being made by City wideboys at the expense of some of this planet's poorest and hungriest people, though that was perhaps the most appalling aspect.

Nor, even, was presenter Jay Rayner's girth the only cause for raised eyebrows.

Shocking, too, was the amount of food thrown away in this country - tons and tons of the stuff, worth a small fortune, every year.

Much of the blame lies with our obscene obsession with shopping - if it's on a shelf, we'll buy it...whatever if might be and whether or not we'll ever wear/watch/eat/drink it.
