Too Harsh ? Not Harsh Enough I Say "Oh and don't believe everything you read, from any side of the argument as there will always be a bias." Wosser points out that there are two sides to every story, and that the sources I used for the article on supermarkets (below) may be biased. I agree, but although these people may be biased, it does not make them wrong in this instance. The sources used to paint this picture of the supermarkets were from people as diverse as Stephen Byers MP, Oxfam, T&G Union, House Of Commons Food & Rural Affairs Committee, Business Week, Citizens Advice Bureau, Which magazine, Cap-Gemeni Consultancy. The point is, that even with all these people lined up against them (and dozens of other national and international bodies railing against them), the food giants just run another tv campaign with a cuddly ex-chef and a witty but dull by line and pretty soon everyone calms down again and thinks that everything is ok. Everything is not ok. There isn't space or time here to list all the things that are so badly wrong with our food industry, but you could find out quite a bit by searching out these fine tomes... Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser (0060938455) Not On The Label - Felicity Lawrence (0141015667) Shopped : The Shocking Power of British Supermarkets - Joanna Blythman (0007158033 ) The Good Shopping Guide - Charlotte Muvey (0954252969 ) It is wrong to think to you, as one person, cannot change things. It may seem that the forces of greed, evil and the inertia of the public are insurmountable problems, so just do what you can. Do a little this week, and a little more the week after, get your friends to join you, together, we can make some sort of difference.
