Tesco fucks you up

An eco-warrior in Somerset is suspended 18 metres (60ft) above ground between the branches of a Scots pine. A typist from Stockport has drafted the latest in a series of complaints about her oversized local supermarket. And a vicar on the Essex island of West Mersea is warning parishioners about the unsustainability of international food trade.

There is a common denominator to this motley band of citizen-activists. They are part of an emerging and nationwide people's revolt, erupting through the internet, against Britain's number one supermarket, Tesco. Last week, as the Small Shops parliamentary group called for the creation of a retail regulator, more than 200 local anti-supermarket campaigns came together in an online alliance under the slogan "Every Little Hurts".

Yeah read not on the label. It goes into quite a bit of detail about where the food comes from and it should be enough to put you off (live chickens fed through the machine to be pumped and then smeared in their own shit; slave labour packing your food) but it's just so damn cheap you know...

A dig that is not required as the guardian did at least run the article, which is more than any of the other newspapers did.
Whilst they did not link to the two addresses mentioned in your badly spelt comment, it was not difficult for any intelligent person to find the sites.
