If you look up the Ethical Consumer Guide they have lists for each product category of brands that have boycott calls against them, or that you might want to avoid for other reasons (use of GM crops, bad environmental practices, etc). Also tells you which companies are Australian owned, and who owns the 'front' company (some brands that used to be Aussie owned/made have been bought by O/S companies, and ditto brands that used to be small and ethical being taken over by not-so-ethical corporations). Very useful. But depressing to realise how much supermarket space is taken up by products from companies I don't want to support!
Yep, I bought last week after I read about it in one of Flaguni's posts.
It took me so long to do my first shop with it between that and my list of numbers most of the supermarket is off limits.
