Sainsbury's in the UK Promoting Veg'n Foods

A good news story folks and don't we need one of those regularly?

The Sainsbury supermarket chain in the UK are going to begin promoting veg. foods right alongside their 'traditional' versions instead of putting them in a separate aisle, they're considering offering extra points for purchasing them and a loyalty program as well as placing recipes and food ideas using them in the appropriate locations! All with a view to encouraging people to 'eat less meat' (I read that as 'give it up') because it's bad for the environment. I don't care why people quit eating meat (environment, ethics or health) as long as they do.

'British shoppers are to become the subject of an experiment aimed at making them eat their greens. In a bold move to rebalance the contents of supermarket trolleys, Oxford academics have teamed up with supermarket chiefs to persuade consumers to buy less meat.

The project, in which Sainsbury's is a key collaborator, is being funded as part of a £5m Wellcome Trust programme, Our Planet, our Health, which aims to improve human health in a world going through profound climatic change. Eating more vegetables and fruit and less red meat will benefit people's health and the environment, say researchers.......'

Great news. Sainsbury's are doing great in the last year. Their new vegan cheese range has caused great joy in the UK. The "feta" and "wensleydale and cranberry" are brilliant. And the soft vegan cheeses are super too. My whole family are eating them now. Aldi in the UK are beginning to get more veggie/vegan friendly too. They are promoting more healthy food and labelling things "dairy / gluten free" etc. Very exciting times to see supermarket heading in this direction. Let's hope they all start competing with each other and drive up the vegan and healthy food market even more :)

Agree.
The Sainsbury's feta is an excellent product, ideal for dicing in salad. I also like the herby cream cheese a lot.
The caramalised onion Cheddar is the best tasting cheddar style cheese I've tasted so far from any offering in the UK (though I've not eaten everything out there).

Sounds amazing and I wish I could try the caramelized cheddar!
