hi Deirdre,

I was in Herbie's the other day (do you have a Herbie's in or near Cobourg?) ... anyway, saw the Atkins bars, at $4.29 each, plus taxes. I checked the label .... and recalled some time ago that a member from Quebec was asking why the bars weren't available in Montreal. It had to do with no French on the label. I remember thinking that's odd, since the law is very clear that products made and distributed in Canada MUST have both official languages.

Well, checked the bar, and sure enough, said MADE IN CANADA. But the distributor was in NY!! That's why they cost so darn much ... we pay the shipping and duties TWICE ... first to get them from here to there, then back here again!!! Also why there's no French on the label.

Why is there no Cdn distributor??? Territorial rights??? Not that I want to buy them, I hear they don't taste very good .. but some do.

...
