  • As I Walk Through The Aisles Of Death At The Supermarket

    A poem from my heart:

    If you only could hear what I hear

    If you only could feel what I feel

    As I walk along those aisles of death in the supermarket

    Do you ever look beyond the clever packaging?

    Beyond the fairy happy-tales of animals who supposedly willingly were killed

    Humane slaughter is all a lie

    Animals do not want to die

    These are aisles of intense suffering and death

    Aisles of crushed dreams,

    children mourning their parents,

    and parents mourning their children

    These dead bodies should all be in a cemetery

    Yet, I see people buying these bodies,

    living individuals ripped apart at a young age

    It is not food, it is violence

    Milk is not food for us, it is the nourishment which was intended for a calf

    But forcefully she was taken away from her mother,

    ignoring her intense cries;

    and ignoring the cries of his/her heart, saying:

    Please don’t hurt these beautiful beings,

    respect their deep heart wish to be together

    And if you buy that milk, you are closing your eyes, and heart,

    from their heartache, pleas and deep emotional suffering

    Think of if someone forcefully took you away from your mother when you were a little child

    Treat and respect others as you want others to treat and respect you

    It is time

    To shop with your heart,

    your eyes and ears

    Their suffering will only stop

    if you listen to your heart and shop with your heart

    Choose green kindness – a vegan diet –

    instead of a diet that robs other beings of everything they have

    Choose peace. Be kind. Be vegan

  • Iceland vow to change for the better!

    Major supermarket Iceland have promised to go green!

    The retailer has publicised plans to replace all of its own products plastic packaging with trays made of paper and pulp in a five-year.

    Iceland are the first retailer to make such a claim in hopes to do better for the environment.

    After a recently survey carried out by the supermarket it learnt that 80% of 5,000 people polled agreed to endorse the change and would happily go plastic-free.

    Iceland managing director, Richard Walker, said:
    The world has woken up to the scourge of plastics. A truckload is entering our oceans every minute, causing untold damage to our marine environment and ultimately humanity – since we all depend on the oceans for our survival.

    “The onus is on retailers, as leading contributors to plastic packaging pollution and waste, to take a stand and deliver meaningful change.”

    What do you think of the proposed change?

    Will it make you happier to buy Iceland products?

  • Supermarket Backlash From ‘SEXIST’ T-Shirts!

    Morrisons is facing a massive backlash after a concerned mother noticed something troubling with their t-shirts.

    Whilst holiday shopping Shelley Roche-Jacques was upset to see boy’s t-shirts with the phrases ‘Little man, big ideas’ and ‘King of the castle’, while a girl’s tops featured ‘Little girl, big smiles’ and ‘Pretty little me’ on it.

    Shelley Roche-Jacques shared the image and her concerns on Twitter.

    Shelley stated in her tweet that Morrisons: “don’t think much of girls.”

    Morrisons responded to Shelley on social media, saying: “Sorry you feel this way! I’ve fed this back to our buyer for review. Thanks for raising this.”

    A spokesperson for the supermarket told The Sun: “Girls t-shirts with slogans like these are very popular with our customers – there are also girls t-shirts with ‘I want to be a rock star’ and ‘girl power’ messages in store now.”

    What do you think of this?
    Are these tops promoting sexism to our youth or are they just clothes and it doesn’t matter?
