I believe its down to cost and profit. Things like the deli and bakery are just loss leaders. The same space in fridges and shelves make far more money with less staff / training and equipment costs. I worked for tesco for a long time and they removed our deli during a refit. Shelves made a...

Assuming i decide to save the planet and cull all my livestock to save the planet, what about all the horsey people? There must be a fair amount of land / equipment etc wasted on horses. Using statistics can prove anything. But if theres no livestock of any kind other than the odd zoo the...
