I'm starting a campaign for (slightly) salty popcorn to be included as one of the major food groups. Today that would make me the healthiest person on Earth.

I'm happily doing very little today (currently watching the England v Andorra game What does Owen Hargreaves have to do to score? Apart from put the ball slightly to the other side of the post maybe) and it's great. Sarah left at lunchtime to go to Budapest to boff a Kiwi, so I have the flat to myself and it took me about 20 seconds for it to gain shit-tip status. Ahhhhh... the joys of being on your todd.

I'm getting quite into the idea of checking where my food is coming from. I mentioned the lack of ethics in shopping at Tesco (www.tescopoly.org) or any of the main supermarkets, and being a good eco conscious chick, it does concern me. I check where my food has come from, and try to buy British when I can to keep my food miles down. I try not to buy stuff with too much packaging. I walk to the supermarket, because I can, though that means lugging it all back myself, and I usually take my own reuseable bags.

I found out there was a farmers market in Stoke Newington on a Saturday, so I thought I'd go have a nosey. It felt, unfortunately, incredibly pretentious. I'm sure I'm not allowed back until I have two children called Seb and Anouska. I scooted out rather quickly, having found nothing useful, and so I thought I'd have a look in Fresh and Wild. Fresh and Wild is an "organic and natural foods retailer", and you know where I'm heading here. I so want to like it. In fact I should be its prime audience - an ethically conscious, vegetarian, single girl. But, not only is it really bloody expensive, it's just plain wanky. I feel like it should have some girl on the door with a clipboard and a radio headset, checking out the clientele before they're allowed through into the shop and turning her nose up at everyone.

Is that just me being silly? I just wanted to be out of there, and I ended up buying some random foods, which although they were lovely, were probably too expensive for what they were.

So organic or natural or just plain good quality foods, whatever you want to call them. The whole market seems prohibitively overpriced - and even worse, aimed exclusively at a certain type of demographic.

I still went to Morrisons and bought most of my fruit and veg (mostly British, but too much packaging) a hell of a lot cheaper. Even the Ecover laundry liquid was 70p cheaper at Morrisons, which just proves you pay for the fact that it's from Fresh and Wild.

Wanky wanky wanky.
