CLIMATE CHANGE and ECONOMIC EQUITY: Abel and Cole boycott?

If you believe in global social justice and maximising environmental benefits, its time to face-off the food fashionistas/fascists and boycott Abel and Cole. Their guzzling trucks clogging our roads [these deliveries claim to be eco-friendly but since they do not replace any car-trips since they only deliver one part of our supermarket shop, they are an additional carbon load], their overpriced [claimed to be more expensive than Borough Market, apparently!] fruit and veg being wasted [an estimated 35% of box schemes are landfilled or composted], and they will not buy from the world's poorest farmers - starving the UK consumer of variety particularly when it is needed in winter [babycorn or green beans or swede?] and cutting a lifeline for small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa.

If anyone established a business delivering by van eco-friendly cat food and household cleaning items, they'd be roundly bollocked by the food miles brigade ... this is all A&C are doing. And you are paying [too much], and WE are paying [the added environmental cost], and THEY are paying [the poor farmers]. Also, the Soil Association should be suing for ripping off their logo [font, scale, size, colours ... ].

Walk to your local convenience store, buy some of their locally-grown vegetables and revel in the range of imported goods from Sri Lanka and India.

Time to boycott a profitable but flawed business plan!
