This superlist looks into the big four British supermarkets: Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco. Are they making sustainable diets the easy choice or are they encouraging the consumption of meat and fish through price promotions?

Supermarkets significantly encourage customers to consume more meat. Three quarters of  meat promotions encourage the buying of more than one product. Morrisons and Asda use multi-buy strategies most often to increase the sale of meat products.
