I don't drive

... so I found this image quite funny. Look, I feel for people who have no option but to drive because there's no public transport (or what public transport there is sucks arse) but for all those people who find it merely 'inconvenient', they can pay what it's worth, which is actually more than they're charging so be thankful.

My worry is that since urban sprawl has eaten up metropolitan farmland, the follow-on effect will be that we pay more for food because it's so damn far to transport it from where the farms are now to where we live. The problem with that is, packaged food becomes more attractive because it's cheaper to transport due to its longer shelf life than fresh food and that's worse for the environment.
