The retiring leader of Britain's Tesco supermarket chain is one of ten people who most helped the poor in the past few decades, a Times of London op-ed (cumbersome registration process required) argues: "Today's supermarket customers eat considerably better than the Queen ate 50 years ago. Supermarket shelves are laden with food that is fresh, varied and affordable....Food prices fell by nearly 10 per cent in the 1990s and by a further 8 per cent in the past decade....Supermarkets have also been enormous job creators. Tesco created one new job every 20 minutes in the Noughties."
