Dear Hydrozoan, I'm aware of fresh vegetables and fruits in the markets and supermarkets because we use them because we have a normal healthy alimentation at our home.
I'm talking of general, talking of the people I see shopping in supermarkets, in the street and at their homes (lived in W1 and living in N1) . Did you ever observed the shopping baskets in a supermarket? You don't hear each time in supermarket a lady saying in telephone to her husband in front of the precooked microwave foods " Honey, what do you want me to cook you for tonight?"
Also the tv programmes, series and advertisements is a good source to observe the alimentation and living habits of people.

Since we moved to London (for few years only), we live in a rented house and use one of these small dishwashers and hate it. All system in UK is based in buying precooked, packaged foods, putting in microwave, no cooking, even no using plates, eating directly from the package seated in bar stools in the kitchen or in front of the tv.
Strange habits...
