Panel 2
Now that your thinking about a cuppa and a piece of cake, think again. We are going to cut through the built-in waste which suppliers force upon us.

Time to revisit the broccoli from here. panel 2. Now that's a different kettle of fish. This site is being written in the UK in January 2013 and broccoli doesn't grow on trees. The question "Why do we need to pay for waste broccoli stalks to be flown across the world?" doesn't occupy many minds which make the choice to buy them.
Included in discussion to come is an answer from a supermarket manager. For the moment, it sits on a trial site I made earlier - here. See if you can work out the true cost of the usable broccoli.
