Safeway, Vons supporting the MLPA? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sorry, I don't support "catch and release ONLY" fishing. I like to eat seafood and prefer to catch my own rather than buy the imported, hormone saturated, antibiotic laced stuff from the stores.

It wouldn't surprise me if, in a few years, we find out that the MLPA push is substantially backed by those who have a vested interest in profiteering from the imported seafood business. Funny how, even at present, the FDA cannot/does not check 60% of our imported seafood for contaminants.

Maybe a big SHAME ON VONS/Safeway Banner outside of every store? Would it hurt their sales if the fishing community had this in their face entering the store? I am not shopping at Vons until they stop supporting the MLPA.

I just sent a smokin' letter to Safeway/Vons about mlpa support. I've shopped there for lots of years, this has ended, I'll drive the extra 4 miles to Ralph's market now.....H
