Tuna

[Coley]

Just thought I'd let you tuna eaters know. (I've got nothing against you)

In my Greenpeace mag today I read that John West and Princes brands, which together make up 60% of the market, are the worst at ensuring the fish they sell is caught using sustainable methods.

Here is a list of the best to the worst;

Asda, Tesco, CoOp, Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Princes then John West.

So now you can choose wisely.

Good point
Of course they also neglected to inform the peasants, Aldi and Lidle also weren't mentioned.

LOL Coley I'm surprised Sainsbury's aren't higher up their list.

EDIT; I'm also angered that Tesco aren't at the bottom- it'd give me another excuse to hate them

EDIT II; Hate them more...

EDIT III; ...and a bit more...

I think it is important to advertise those stores which are good, and Waitrose is good: their fresh fish is sustainably caught.
I presume that all tinned tuna come from the same sources so the answer there is simply don't buy tinned tuna.

I agree that Waitrose is good! I was joking re: the toffs though

The late Alan Corin made a good quip about shopping snobbery: "The great thing about Tesco is that it keeps the riff-raff out of Waitrose!"

Yes I read that too.
Waitrose have a good reputation for green issues on the whole and they do give local farmers a good go.
I have tried not to buy Albatross unfriendly/ Dolphin unfriendly tuna but it's not easy when some don't say what fishing methods are used.
