Tesco doesn't care!

[Guest guest]

Like most big food stores TESCO will only change if there is bad publicity at

risk or they will make money.

 

I know for certain that when I personally met the head veggie buyer from TESCO I

failed in my big attempt to move them from focusing purely on meat reducers -

despite lending them tons of material for them to feed on! do you know that even

their veggie food is battery eggs and their excuse... not enough free range eggs

in the world to supply their needs.. I was not amused - especially as now TESCO

is a global player and a major UK company - they have 197,000 employees in the

UK alone

 

Maybe - we should start up a hassling session to the major non conforming

supermarkets and hear the latest.. Any support out there for this idea?

 

Anyone got any latest news on their thoughts

Great stuff - Co-op's alone was the only mainstream labelling, which

was most excellent of them, but hopefully as you say Asda &

Sainsburys follow suit. Tesco are suppossed to be a good

supermarket, so if everyone else starts vegan labelling, they better

get their arse into gear if they are to be supported!
