Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Apparently this was raised in Parliament last year: <http:// www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/cm050614/text/ 50614w21.htm>. It seems that the only thing you can do is get soya formula on prescription. Pretty lame.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Thanks for your reply Paul. I've looked into it and I can't see any way round it. I was thinking that maybe a nice health food shop that sold both cows milk and soya milk would exchange the vouchers for me, but as there are no health food shops near me except Holland and Barrett, I can't think of anything to do with the vouchers. My daughters father says I should give them to him to get milk with, but I don't feel that is right. Can anyone think of anything anywhere near ethical that I can do with the tokens otherwise I guess I'd better write to them and cancel them.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I guess I would send them back with a letter saying that you can't use them and stating the reasons. It's only a matter of time before they have to cave in and extend the tokens to soya so every little bit of pressure helps.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Perhaps your daughters father would buy them off you?, then you could use the money for soya milk?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I phoned up Tescos and they said they didn't take them for soya milk, but I will certainly give it a try....

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 hi try getting in touch with the vegan soc, im sure this was brought up 10 /15 years ago, there was apetition going on at the time. im sure the vegan soc had something to do with it.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I phoned up the people who sent the tokens this afternoon and they said in November they are changing the tokens so you can exchange them for any type of milk, or fruit and veg, so that is really good news. In the meantime I think I will sell my vouchers to a cows milk drinker. I was going to ask them to cancel them, but as I will be able to use them in a couple of months I don't think I will now.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yeah, it's great news. The times are definitely changing!... Personally, until November I'd sell my tokens on ebay...
