Dear Sainsbury's,
I would just like to let you know that today I bought a French chicken despite my preference for local produce, because it looked like a chicken and not some caricature of a bird drawn by someone with a breast and thigh fetish, which is an accurate description of the birds on offer in your fresh meat section that are produced in this country. I would also like to inform you that today I bought some non-organic tomatoes, despite the range you have in the organic section and my normal preference for organic produce, because the organic tomatoes were grown in Argentina and we grow perfectly good tomatoes in this country.
Why oh why can we not have local organic produce on offer, when I know it is available? I am changing my purchasing habits to buy more of this type of produce from the local market, as I object to having my organic produce shipped across the world when there is plenty available from struggling local farmers. My main reason for buying organic is the environmental benefits, and the personal health benefits and improved flavour are merely an added bonus. I think you would find, if you did some research amongst those who think about these things as opposed to merely following the current fashion, that I am by no means alone in this.
However I would like to thank you for including British organic milk and eggs in your range.
Yours sincerely, etc |
