Lets Stand Together!!!
 

I decided that enough is enough and we need to get through to these supermarkets. So i wrote my begging letter for LC products and Stevia in word and copied and pasted it to each supermarket, just changing the name of the store in each email.
It really didn't take me long to do it.
If we all do this and get other people to do it too (people in other forums, friends, family etc doesn't matter if they dont LC) then hopefully they will see there is a demand for these products and that they are missing out.

These are the stores that i emailed, if i have missed any please say and i'll email them too!

clever girl ebbie,i,ll get right to it.

And another one:
Just emailed GNC www.gnc.co.uk

Been searching for H&B but not had any luck as yet, anyone know their web address?

Stevia is banned in the UK and the EU. You're writing to the wrong people with regard to that one.

I know Rob, but a little person like me can't do anything about that. However nice big corporations can:D

Also if i can buy this online from the UK i should be able to buy it from a store:agree:

:D Found it

If you buy it online you are breaking the law by importing it into the UK. I'm all with you on the low carb foods in British supermarkets thing but why Stevia? Doesn't it have a nasty licquorice aftertaste? I'm happy enough we got splenda at the moment.

I'm not the one importing it to the UK, i can buy it online from the UK. If they are breaking the law then thats down to them. I haven't tried it as yet but from what i have heard i would certainly like to give it a try.
Stevia is a natural product where as splenda is chemically made. From what i have read on AS including splenda i believe the least i eat of this the better, as heaven knows what the long term health effects are.:cool:

i think we should concentrate on getting the l-c products made available first.its a fight that we have a chance of winning as there is profits for the supermarkets in that.
the stevia is going to be more of a government issue as it it illegal at the moment.
i,ve emed the supermarkets,stating that there is a massive l-c following in this country and they are missing out by not stocking the l-c foods that they sell abroard.if we all do this,we might have a good chance of seeing some changes on our shelves.

I've emailed some supermarkets. I'm hoping all the recent publicity about Atkins will be making the pound signs flash for them!

It's all so silly. Safeways make 'reduced sugar and salt' ketchup. OK, 14g of carbs is better than 25 by why not go the whole hog and produce a 'sugar free' ketchup'. Anyone on any weight reducing diet would welcome more sugar free products - not to mention diabetics. - Think I'll write to Safeways. maybe we should also congratulate firms which do sell LC products even if it is by accident. I bought some lovely low carb (0.5 per 100) sausages in Lidl today!

I am now off to e-mail all companies regarding lc foods. Thanks for the web addressess

Thanks for posting those E-mail address they will come in handy when i have got enough info to bombard them with!! Please all respond to my poll about where do you buy your shopping from??

Why?

Has anyone tried Morrisons? We could even give Netto ago! I'm gonna email them all as soon as I can. Thanks for the addresses. Have you had any replies yet?

I have had a reply from Waitrose. They thanked me for my email and have forward it onto their nutritionist, (Oh god help us!)

About Stevia have a look at the other thread about it in this forum (legalisation of Stevia) it will tell you a bit more:D
