ohh there are poeple who wont shop in any of the big supermarkets because they are so against them. I have spoken to local people who would rather pay more for local produce than buying something from a supermarket which is imported from another country.

I was talking to a lady and she told me that she point blank refuses to buy supermarket meat from New Zealand or any other country and she pays more just to buy local British meat

The other thing I have also come accross is people being angry because the imported meat is so much more cheaper than local produce because the locals just cant make a profit when you have huge supermarkets buying in bulk from abroad.

Its kinda crazy when you think about it ..Its cheaper to buy from abroad than buy from your own country

Having said that there are some supermarkets who are now buying locally
