Pip & Nut's trans inclusion policy

We haven't got to the bottom of first tub yet but it's easy to stir so I don't think will be a problem.

Oh yawn. It’s going too far to chase down every supplier like this. A bit obsessed.

Another vote for Meridian. I used to add a little salt, but I actually prefer it without now. There are crunchy and smooth versions. I add a few drops of groundnut (peanut) oil if it dries up a litlle. Available from Tesco in 1 kg tubs or smaller jars.

They’ve gone off on a transgent.

I really like Sunpat, 95% peanuts with some salt and sugar. Its much nicer than the pip and nut one IMO.

I've bought so many of their products over the years but I can't support a company that views women (like me) having the legal right to our own spaces and single-sex provision as a negative thing.

I don't know this company, don't eat peanut butter, am not in the UK, so I had a look at their website to find out more about them.

They seem to do lots of good stuff on the environment, supporting the community etc. so it's a shame that they've gone off on a trans tangent.

They have an EDI statement on their website 'Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI)' which is very broad and bland, and doesn't single out any group for special mention.

Just imagine if they gave employees with disabilities the same level of cosseting!

Have you tried the Hot & Smoky one? It sounds amazing but when I’ve tried peanut butters that have been messed-about-with I’ve not been that impressed.

Oh and v disappointed in Pip & Nut. Although not surprised…. I wonder if they thought this declaration would help with sales/ would be great free advertising/ would be a good look? Like many have said I just want to buy things I like. I do not need to know the owners or the companies political views. Nor should those views become part and parcel of their marketing strategy.

I don't like peanut butter but good to know to avoid penis & nuts brand if I ever needed to buy some.

I wonder if the paid time off for family members would also cover anxiety, depression and insomnia because you think your child is making a huge mistake. 😔

I get Mothernutter peanut butter Shop Now — Mothernutter Peanut Butter for no reason other than that it's a small business quite local to me and the product is fine. I have no idea about the owners' politics but, as with several other small local businesses that I like to buy from, I don't care as long as they're not using political views that I find problematic in their marketing.

Ours is made fresh at our local refill shop. It's really good.

Do you think they have not realised that the guidance is for service providers and not employers. As employers the single sex provisions are also regulated by health and safety legislation. Seems odd.

I wonder why they don't see the problem with this as business people....

Allowing time off ("encouraging") gender affirming appointments will cause them a whole heap of trouble if that person ever decides they were harmed by this....

In addition, knowing discrimination policy, it sooo discriminates against, say, women needing time off for sick kids or dependant parents - which is unpaid, Vs paid time off for this....they will in future be taken to the cleaners by industrial tribunals.

Ooh, I've not seen that TERF description before and now I've seen it twice in one day. It's definitely giving off a 'bloody hell we're losing, let's be even more aggressive and insulting' vibe. What is a woman @GladLemonCritic ? Is it fascistic to know it's an adult human female?

I looked at the Patental leave policy and it is on the generous side (and equal for men and women).

The big thing about P&N is the high oleic acid. Others do that, including Biona. You could have a look on dolphin fitness

They all go solid towards the bottom if you don't stir them, its just the oil separating out because of relative density.

I'd be tempted, if I worked there, to claim I was non binary, then claim I was dating myself so I could get time off to come to terms with my new non binary status, and time off to get a nice gender confirming surgery maybe a nose ring, then more time off as the partner of a non binary person in order to support myself.

Actually I reckon I could blag most of the year off if I had chance to read their rules properly.

I have just bought a 1kg tub of whole earth smooth peanut butter from Ocado.

Can anyone summarise what nonsense they’re spouting? The link doesn’t work for me.

Why the fuck would you need time off because your partner is non-binary? Surely you potentially need the same amount of time off as everyone else?

Why can't companies just go back to producing their product and selling it?
