What supermarket is the most animal 'friendly'?!
Answers: e.g does not condone animal cruelty.
I'd certainly trust Waitrose far more than any other.
They are also streaks ahead in changing packaging for recycling. Using Types 1,2 & 3 only rather than the others which most local authorities won't touch.
Just found this link:

makes interesting reading.
Seems that Waitrose was knocked off the top spot by M&S this year.
So it's M&S, Waitrose, Co-op, Sainsburys, Tesco, Somerfield, Morrisons and Asda.
In 2005-6 it was Waitrose, M&S, Co-op, Tesco, Sainsburys, Somerfield & Asda.
deans organic market (nj shore areas) have won awards for things like that - rock on!
pet shops
find a natural market. they serve only organic foods
i dont know where you live but im sure there is one around
I thought you were asking which ones allowed animals inside. I have worked as a clerk (and not counting seeing-eye dogs), I hate those middle-aged women (sorry but that's always what it was) that would carry in the poodle or Chihuahua without even asking!
None I know off except Pets R Us
dog store
Not sure where you are but Whole Foods is a national organic supermarket. Prices are great and they have a great variety.
Waitrose.
The greengrocers.
Co-op does not supply anything tested on animals. They are a pretty safe bet.
By "condone animal cruelty" I'm going to assume you mean "doesn't sell animals chopped up and sold in packages". No major chains are going to fit your criteria, but there are some good options for vegetarians out there...
Of course, yourr local farmers market it going to be a good bet.
I find that Ralph's has a good selection of vegetarian foods and they have a lot of organics so I go there if I need something right away (they're just down the road).
Trader Joe's is WONDERFUL. I like a lot of things abouth them. There are a whole lot of options there for vegetarians and vegans, too. I do the majority of my shopping there.
Seventh Day Adventists are often vegetarian so if you have a large community of them nearby there is a good chance they will have a natural foods market. Look up an SA church near you and call and ask if they can recommend a vegetarian market. The one I shop at wasn't listed in any veg guides until I put it there so they may be hard to find. I have a wonderful market nearby that I get most of my specialty items from. It's like a veg wonderland. They have books and all-natural bath and beauty products, too. I feel very fortunate to have found this place.
There are alot of options nline, too. You end up spending maybe another $20 for shipping, but is it worth it to not have to run all over and get frustrated? I like FoodFightGrocery.Com. They are pretty hardcore when it comes to animal rights. They have a lot of good vegan junk food. I just bought all my stocking stuffer candy from them. Last year we had one dark chocolate bar. This year I SPLURGED.
There are a slew of other veg*n online markets. I haven't ordered from them, though, with the exception of some raw markets. but I think you probably would have specified if that's what you were looking for. Google will point you in the right direction if you're wanting the online route.
Good luck and happy shopping!
I always go to local farmer markets, where you can find food grown and raised by people who have small local farms. Most supermarkets will have various degrees of industrialised foods, with some degree of organic products. I don't know that any supermarkets can really be defined as 'green'.
MOTHER EARTH
www.happycow.net will help you find vegetarian restaurants and health food stores anywhere in the world. In the U.S., Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are the best places to find vegan and vegetarian items. But your area might have an indy natural foods store or a co-op that carries many vegan items.
the super market with an organic meats selection or a pet shop...lol
I like supporting smaller health food stores. A lot of those are pretty good. The larger ones like Trader Joes and Whole Foods are nice, too.
The best thing to do would be to avoid shopping at supermarkets entirely and just shop at health food shops, by which i don't mean chains like Holland And Barrett but proper small local ones. I only rarely go into supermarkets and they are really disturbing places.
