in the bid to be the cheapest and most popular supermarket in the UK, tesco have always done more than their fair share of brutalising when it comes to dictating terms to farmers. in order to source cheaply they vastly increase the 'food miles' attached to each product. unfortunately the company goes from strength to strength, expanding into central and eastern europe, putting local shops out of business, in short, the 'wall mart' effect. with its recent foray into the cheap clothing market, we are about to witness further financial success, further shareholder satisfaction, and further pressure on textile workers who bear the brunt of increased competition: $1 a day for a 72-hour week. with slogans like 'every little helps' and 'helping you spend less every day' the company makes itself out to be the consumer's friend, but in reality it is the planet's enemy.
