Wasting food is *immoral*. Throwing

away perfectly good food is wicked. Whatever we might think when we consider this rationally in the light of the current abundance of food, our gut reaction is shaped by the culture we grew up in.

Yes, but this topic never came up in BLAKES 7. I originally asked for one specific instance in the content (not the technicals or production style) of the B7 universe that provided distinct proof that it was a British society. We know there are differences between the way Brits and Americans do things. That's not the discussion.

There are lots of things like this scattered through the cultures

concerned (and a fair few of the obvious ones date from the different experiences of the World Wars). To me, the culture depicted in B7 is descended from the one on the east side of the pond...<<
