Britons ‘spend more on alcohol than fruit and veg’ claims the Money section of the Guardian. What terrible news! We must be a nation of dispomaniacs!
1kg carrots = 60p, 1kg onions = 67p, 1 cucumber = 58p, total = 185p
1pt draught lager = 228p
(All average prices from some office in Jersey)
If we were to spend more on fruit and veg than we do alcohol I estimate we’d need to eat an average of roughly three kilos of vegetable matter for every pint we drink.
