Living in a city can be great as a vegan as you have access to several supermarkets and can easily find vegan products. The problem is the amount of vegan food you can find varies from location to location.
Tesco has quite a good vegan range. However it does depend what part of town you shop in. In Manchester the Cheetham Hill store has more vegan products than the store in Blackley.
Why is this? Do they assume that in one part of town people will buy more vegan options than another? Is there research into this? Or is it down to each individual store to pick what products to stock?
Whatever the reason it makes it hard to buy Vegan food in certain areas. Plus it doesn't give people the opportunity to try new products or consider going vegan if you only shop in a certain area.
It is a shame that Vegan's aren't given the same product range in different areas. If you had a whole store that sold no bread at all people would be angry but not having Vegan options is apparently OK.
If there were more completely Vegan supermarkets around I would never shop in any other supermarket. Until that day I'll avoid stores that think Vegans are invisible.
