Letter: Supermarkets: have the country towns reached saturation point?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Thank you for the juxtaposition of the superstores and 'pig estate' articles. If only opponents of superstores could site a pig farm (of comparable scale) alongside each superstore, to act as a symbol of the greed of retailers, developers and customers. The pigs could use up the fresh food that the stores must waste, while the stores might get some decent bacon instead of that watery plastic stuff. Further study will show if bent supermarket trolleys (immobile against the strongest push) would make suitable pig scratching posts.
Yours faithfully,
