Emails are too easy to delete. Thus, please write to the people below and send your letters off in the post. With appreciation, Louise (Editor) 1. Mr Gigi Bisogno General Manager: Perishables Pick n Pay Head Office P O Box 23087 Claremont 7735 Dear Mr Bisogno, Please take Pick n Pay's "Inspired by You" slogan and turn it around. This time, you inspire us! Please become accountable for the food you choose to stock. It is just too convenient for you to keep on saying that the customer must choose. Battery eggs are cruel food. Most of your customers don't know this. You are shirking your responsibility towards ethical consumerism by leaving the choice up to your customers. Please organise a phase-out of battery eggs.That would be truly inspirational! I look forward to hearing from you. Name: E-mail Address: 2. Mr Danny Jordaan CEO: World Cup Local Organising Committee Private Bag X2010 Mondeor Johannesburg 2110 Dear Mr Jordaan, By now Compassion in World Farming(SA) will have shown you the report that reveals an inversion has taken place in the nutritional values of factory farmed chicken. What used to be a High Protein/Low Fat healthy food has now become a High Fat/Low Protein food. Food experts in the UK are suggesting that factory farmed chicken is not suitable for the athletes who will be taking part in the London Olympics in 2012. By the same token, we cannot expect Bafana Bafana to have that winning edge if they are not fed optimally. Please insist on free range chicken for our team players. Sincerely, Name: Email Address: 3. Mr Rashid Parker Buyer: Perishables Shoprite Checkers Head Office Cor Old Paarl Road and William Dabs Road, Brackenfell 7560 Dear Mr Parker, I believe supermarkets should be held accountable for what they stock and, when it comes to cruel food, it is just too convenient for you to keep on saying that the customer must choose. Battery eggs are cruel food. Most of your customers do not know this. Please get rid of the battery eggs on your shelves and live up to your TV advertising slogan of "Eat more Naturally". I look forward to hearing from you. Name: E-mail Address: 4. Dear Readers, Compassion in World Farming(SA) is at the forefront of the drive towards Ethical Consumerism in South Africa.
