Petition Subsidise organic fruit and vegetables so that people can afford to live.

People have the right to live a healthy life and starting with organic fruit and veg is essential.

Working class families simply cannot afford to go organic because it is so expensive

1 in 2 people in the UK will develop cancer (Cancer Research UK). This appauling figure should and can be reduced.
