The reasons for the problematic food situation in Britain

　　__38_ On the one hand, the British government has gradually cut down support for food. On the other hand, the shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.

　　The different situations at home and abroad

　　Moreover, the rise in food prices at home has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety.__39__British consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be able to benefit from this trend.

　　The effect of the situation on farmers

　　The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generations have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a smaller home market. Present production is running quickly compared with years ago.__40__.

　　A. Then why is the food situation in Britain still faulty?

　　B. However, farmers haven’t shared any benefit from the change.

　　C. The variety of British food

　　D. The surface richness of food and questions it brings

　　E. And now grain prices, too, are falling internationally.
