Tesco in Arizona America - No British food here please!

Here is the latest on Tesco's bid to make the USA a healthy country. Text courtesy of The Arizona Republic

"The minisupermarkets, dubbed Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, will begin to open late this year in the Phoenix area and other Western cities. Tim Mason, Tesco USA chief executive officer, officially announced the Fresh & Easy name and revealed more details about its launch to Valley officials and business leaders.
The chain's emphasis will be on fresh produce and healthful, ready-to-eat meals sold for affordable prices but not British food. [My emphasis]

Mason said. "It is very deliberately designed to meet the needs of the 21st-century American consumer." In Tesco's eyes, those needs don't include smoking: The stores won't sell cigarettes or tobacco products
"We're going to encourage a healthy lifestyle," Mason said, adding that Tesco's private brand products won't contain added trans fats, artificial colours or flavours.

Experimenting in Dubai

Now in Dubai for a week staying with Nick. Nick was showing me his latest blog using the multi user version of Wordpress. Here is a link to my first post on a blog that I created on his domain. In fact you can have thousands of blogs hanging of that domain. This could be ideal for my vanspot idea or for a politician who might want all their co-workers to have blogs.
