.....investors betting on the latter at mo

Because they're bloody awful and they know how stupid people are, and by calling it by the real meat name - subcontiously the idiots think it is similar.
Should call Quorn - cardboard, because that's what it tastes like imho.
My wife thought she'd try the Sausages one night without telling us - what a mistake that was, bloody awful...

If you look at Tescos last 5 years trading, I do not believe they are as dire as some may like to believe.
As for Ocado, they have just gambled with their new food brand, so will be interesting to see how they fair now...

yes but point of thread is 'future trends'.....if tesco believes vegan is the future....then right now investors feel online shopping is the future......leaving tesco with a very expensive property cost base

I'm not so certain they will move completely to Vegan, but move a percentage to it as they test the water, the same as a lot of other supermarkets will. It makes business sense if the Modern Trend is to eat it...
Tescos are ruthless, as anyone should know - and as soon as the sales drop, they will drop it like a stone.
What the real issue will be, is not the Vegan foods cropping up on the shelves, but the total lack of anyone or any powerful organisation with balls and absolute knowledge of environmental impacts to be able to stand up and fight them on the data and misinformation that is out there.
Blame everyone / everything for anything you need to, but do not ignore the greatest elephant in the closet....
Oh, and finally, Tescos think nothing about ditching property, as they have done it many times before...

I could grow prize winning docks. The more fertile the ground and the bigger the crops, the more and better docks grow.

If things got that bad, not only would I give up farming, I think I’d just give up on life.

Don't forget the seeds that have been used for thousands of years for herbal medicine, lung problems , so would help if you get CV - Dock will cure you

I'm pinning my hopes on vitamin D3 and Ivermectin. Chemical cure.
It's higher in the good stuff yes but what the good stuff is I can't remember well enough to tell you. There is quite a difference between the grass and grain fed meat and they don't need a lot of grain to make that difference either. True pasture for life stuff should command more of a premium than it does.
It isn't so much that omega 3 is good for us and omega 6 is bad, it's that the ideal ration is 1:1 whereas the av person now has a ratio of something like 1:18 om3:m6, ie we're all consuming waaay too much omega 6 but coincidentally not enough omega 3 at the same time. This is primarily due to the industrial vegetable oils that are so prevalent in all the processed/package crap we all eat from the supermarket and everywhere else. The very first basic thing anyone could do to address this is to switch to butter instead of margarine and then look at everything else with second thing being to chuck out all of the veg oils you use to cook with.
It's a complicated subject, fats, but you need to get info from the likes of Zoe Harcombe rather than the media (or social media lol). Except the FF obvs

I think its quite nice to see two older people living a simple life - they don't go out much due to CV , local shop kindly delivers there supplies and they make that up with what they gather from the local fieldsIf things got that bad, not only would I give up farming, I think I’d just give up on life.
They don't farm but cant see what difference that make
Did you never go blackberry picking
Yes but he looks quite well on it.hippy
Thing is I had a couple of local lads give me a hand with a bit of concreting and other odds and sods around the yard two days last week. Now these lads, more than able to put away a good traditional meat and spud dinner.
My Mrs., served us up a good supper both days, of burger,,fries, and bits and pieces. All socially distanced in the shed!
Second day she asks, what did ye think of those burgers lads? We all concurred they were lovely, and I asked innocently, were they from Sam’s the local butcher?
No says she with a wicked smile ..... they were Aldi’s best veggie burgers
.
I’m not joking .... we didn’t know the difference or care as we were hungry. But they looked to the casual eye like beef burgers, and they tasted ok!!
Now I’m looking at my suckler cows with a hint of suspicion
