Doing so usually involves sacrifice of one kind or another and normally amongst the first to go (or at least take a back seat) is animal welfare.

A Which? report this week revealed that an incredible 1 in 4 Britons are now growing their own fruit and vegetables. Although a number of people indicated this was in order ‘to eat more healthily’ , the overriding reason was that as food, fuel and energy prices continue to rise, many are looking for new ways of saving.
