Ronald Beaten Back by Farmers
It is with great pleasure that I stumbled accross the below story on the BBC website.
The story tells how a McDonald’s restaurant in a Devon town is closing because it cannot compete with local traders at the Tavistock Farmers Market.
John Taylor, Tavistock Forward and EatWise chairman, said: “It just goes to show that the food is so good here we have seen them off.
“Because of the quality of our local food, McDonald’s has not been able to compete. I think there is definitely a link.
“We have made every effort to make Tavistock a haven for local food and McDonald’s wasn’t local food, so they suffered.”
What an uplifting story, that proves that people are starting to take more notice of the things they eat.
Now to work on *$ who pay fairtrade prices but could pay a lot more for the green beans they buy.
