I still hate you, Masterfoods

Good news! Masterfoods have conceded defeat and are making their products suitable for vegetarians again! Annoyingly though, whilst this is undoubtedly excellent news, it has only served to annoy me even more than before – and for far less justifiable reasons.
As you probably know, I write a newspaper column, and this week I was planning to try and be like Mark Thomas, and complain about the evil corporations in public, albeit because of a slightly less-worthy cause than the arms industry. I’d basically reworked this blog entry, and was going to submit it for publishing this Thursday/Friday (depending on your area).
But now that Masterfoods have done a massive embarassing U-turn, with a deadline of tomorrow, I’ve got nothing to write about. Bugger.
Also, I was planning a trip to the Masterfoods headquarters, which is only a short distance away from me in Melton Mowbray, where I wanted to try and go all Michael Moore on them, and basically harass the receptionist about aspects of corporate policy that she doesn’t deal with anyway. I was hoping I could film this and make a stupid video for the internet, and become quite famous out of it. But they’ve surrendered now, before I could get shaky video footage of me being asked to leave. Damn.
