De Britse schrijfster Jeanette Winterson begon op haar website het nieuwe jaar met een tirade tegen supermarkten. "Shopping is what you do when you have stopped living," en "I have said before that what you put on your plate and in your mouth is a political act. How you eat makes you an activist – or not. Cut the crap, cut the calories, cut capitalism."
