Dear All,
Did you know that there are currently 4 million vegetarians in the UK and the retail market for vegetarian products increases by 8% every year? This indicates a potential for growth and investment in this area of the food business. As part of my GCSE food technology course, I have chosen to evaluate the vegetarian diet and will be designing a range of vegetarian dishes which could be sold as ready meals in supermarkets. I would be most grateful if you could take some time to fill out this survey, because your opinion counts!
