Well that's me told. I'm off to live like "The Good Life"
"Doesn't fit your criteria" HA
Processed junk is far, far cheaper to mass produce than growing fruit and vegetables and this allows quicker and higher profit for companies. I agree supermarkets have no right to tell us what to eat but as a nation with one of the highest obesity levels in the world and some of the highest levels of child poverty surely large companies have a social responsibility to help people with limited money make a healthier choice.
A family on low income will obviously choose £1 offers of bags of chips, Pizza and frozen sausage over higher priced vegetables, fruit and fresh meat on a weight to weight ratio as they struggle to make ends meet.
My post was not an attack on anyones life style but merely my opinion of which I am allowed.

Morrisons, along with many supermarkets, had loads of veg offers on just a couple of weeks ago, not sure what your point is tbh, as you can't expect every offer they do to be healthy stuff all the time.
I don't think its up to the supermarkets to have any social responsibility on how to eat, there should be a greater programme of showing people how to eat healthily on a budget from an early age. Show people how to cook normal meals in school, and how to use left overs to create a second or third meal if cost is an issue, like we used to do 20-30 years ago.

Let's be honest here: the majority of the population are too thick and/or lazy to figure out what they should be eating. It's too late for most of them anyway!

1st Thank You to the poster for the time to post this.
2nd Well done Morrisons for again putting fatty/processed rubbish on offer instead of healthy alternative and promoting better eating.

It's a shame this list of offers does not fit your criteria. However, you don't have to buy them and in general there is plenty of choice to cater for all budgets and diets in supermarkets. Even this list has options like a vegetable mix, jacket potatoes and quorn.
Supermarkets have no business in helping me decide what I should and shouldn't eat and drink imo because it's my responsibility to eat a balanced diet.

Supermarket 'offers' are the result of manufactures slashing their prices for a short period to boost sales. The supermarkets still make a profit - and they encourage people into their stores to boost sales of other items.
Suppliers of healthy foods could sell more products, if they did the same. But they don't simply because their products appeal to a niche middle-class audience, who will pay well over-the-odds for what they buy.
If you don't like the way the system operates then perhaps you should stop going to supermarkets.
