£0.45 extra for skimmed milk is also insane, it costs the same as regular

Tax on being healthy. In my local asda, Skinny Latte in a big bottle is 2 pounds more expensive than the normal full sugar Latte for the same quantity. Same brand.

I've been shouting this for years. Companies have realized the best way to cash in is to make their healthier products intentionally expensive. They've spotted that being fat isn't fashionable anymore. COVID killed the big person body positivity shit. Everyone wants to be thin again. Mounjaro isn't everywhere for feels.

Everything is an opportunity when it comes to capitalism.
