It is with sadness that I have to report that Morrisons have gone back on their word to Compassion in World Farming and have begun to sell caged hen eggs once again.
This is disgusting on so many levels and should be boycotted where possible. To this end, I have decided that (given that the nearest Sainsbury’s in 90+ miles away, I will be shopping at Asda for a while.

I think it is abhorrent that supermarkets think they can make a pledge and then, if sales aren’t as high as they hoped, go back on their word. I am sick of big business lying to us.

I recommend that if you agree with this boycott, you pass on the news. I would NOT recommend shopping in Tesco’s – almost anywhere is better than that amoral market. However, that is entirely your choice.

I try to support local farmers when it comes to eggs but I do buy them from supermarkets occasionally. I will never buy eggs from Morrisons again.
