    Thanks for starting this thread Needmoney. It's a really worthwhile campaign you're trying to start.

    It would be really great if someone with enough money and time established an independent website to give us more information, a nutritional library. Perhaps it could include the e-mail addresses of all of the MP's, MEP's, ministers, directors of supermarkets and food outlets etc and coordinated a campaign to hassle them all. Also, details of additives, their names, descriptions, function, and potential side-effects.

    I only wish I had the time, money and technical know how to set something like this up.

    Perhaps I should read the links before I open my mouth. Looks like there are already campaigns.

    i'm going to start my own personal campaign in the school playground, can't believe we're still selling ice lollies containing tartrazine for the PTA!! i was helping out on the stall this week and i told everyone not to buy the orange ones, the head of the PTA was annoyed but she keeps buying the same lollies year after year and it's been 2 years since i first asked her not to buy them. it's really not that expensive to buy lollies without artificial colours, iceland and all the supermarkets sell them. grrrrr!
