Exactly, Mollygo. That's all I was seeking to do here. Highlighting that Tesco have been the one supermarket chain not to respond to the OpenCages investigations and the appalling cruelties that were revealed. Other supermarket chains who were also found wanting in their investigations did clean up their act and improved conditions for the animals. I'm very glad to read that others feel similarly.
I agree, Marsha. I don't know about the geographical coverage of online supermarkets, whether the big names cover all areas. Choice may be limited but there many be the option of small retailers, Abel &Cole, OddBox for example, who sell and deliver lovely fruits and veg boxes. There may be farm shops that deliver too.
You've reminded me of a book I listened to many years ago, by Dr Andrew Weil, an American doctor who specialises in healthy eating and healthy ageing. The blurb from his book: The Beginner's Guide to Health Eating says:
"Join Dr. Weil as he helps identify the diet that's best for you, and sets the record straight about fats, carbohydrates, protein, and calories. With him, you will learn how to cook and eat out wisely, explore the secrets of the Japanese and Mediterranean diets, and discover why "experimentation" is central to a healthy diet.” (He is a big mushroom fan so be careful what you experiment with!)
Those goals may be a little more challenging to achieve in a vegan diet. The question often asked is where do you get your protein but there are plenty of plant-based sources. You’re right. Plant-based protein can be expensive, nuts, for example but foods such as grains and seeds, beans and chick peas, lentils and potatoes are not so.
