Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 When I have coffee in Uxbridge I always go solely to starbucks because they have soya milk. Maybe it's evil, but I have always voted with my wallett. Be it,.not buying animal products or buying vegan production regardless of the retailer. There is only one way vegan goods will prosper: if we give all shops reasons to stock them and others who don't normally come into contact with them have the opportunity to see/buy/try etc. How many other people hold this view? I also walk into many cafes and ask if I can have soya milk. If they don't I'll normally exclaim " you only have cows milk? " " okay I'm off to starbucks " or " I'll come back when you have " . Boycotting is easy, chaning the status quo is not. How many stores now stock vegan products due to boycotts? Rowan Several people have mentioned getting soya milk cappucino from the likes of Starbucks/Cafe Niro......am I the only one who is boycotting this idea on the Fair Trade ( or lack of it by them ) principle??????????? Vegans consult your concience.... P.S. Just recovered from hoards of " Trick Or Treaters " , yet another terrific idea from our ex colonial cousins....HAVE A NICE DAY. The Valley Vegan.....

We have a couple of small independent coffee shops locally where they have soy milk and Fair Trade coffee (not to mention free WiFi !), and I'll always patronise these in preference to the local Starbucks. But when I'm away from home and *$ is the only game in town for vegans then I'll buy my soy latte from them. I feel they deserve at least a small amount of business from me for having soy milk when others don't Paul -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
