Plant Based Sandwiches Dropped By Morrisons And Asda

[organic]

This from Grocer Gazette:

Morrisons and Asda have dropped their plant-based sandwich options entirely, a new survey has revealed.

In the recent survey by Eating Better, it found that the Big 4 grocers have removed their plant-based sandwiches, since its last sandwich survey three years ago.

Supermarket rival Tesco has also reduced its plant-based sandwich offer by 28% on 2019 figures.

The study also found that on average, plant-based options are the most expensive sandwich types, making the most sustainable option less accessible, and particularly so in a cost of living crisis.

This comes as Sainsbury’s plant-based offering is 15% more expensive than its meat alternatives.

Interesting info, always see a lot of the vegan stuff on the yellow sticker shelves, must be costing them a fortune to stock the stuff

a salad sandwich ?

Just get animals to convert those plants and even better get a piggy to convert to a BACON sandwich

odd that sandwiches with the cheapest fillings are the dearest

The M & S BP garage near me was really pushing plant based a couple of years ago. Have seemingly ditched the lot now.

Follow the money. They thought it would be a goldmine. Turns out no one’s interested in being taken for mugs. Well, most aren’t.

I keep an eye on the share prices of Oatly and Beyond Meat. They haven't exactly taken off in the last year:

Check out Agronomics share price chart. This is the only publicly quoted company in the UK involved in the Frankenstein tumour meat industry seeking to end humanity's place in the planet’s food chain. This chart is increasingly looking like a company/industry that is finally starting to see the early stages of reality setting in. Around $3 billion has been poured into this industry worldwide in the last couple of years. Check out the last company announcement from ANIC (Agronomics), reading between the lines it’s not good. Full disclosure; I have some shares in this company and I’m loving watching my investment ebb away.

I quite like a tomato sandwich .I guess I must be a vegan !But would have to have clover .That's plant based!

 

[Drillman]

Does that mean a BLT is now just a B?

No plants were hurt in the making of this sandwich…

Can vegan plants be fed animal manure?

 

[Ashtree]

Plants affected by this discussion should call 1-800-CARRIE.

 

[SteveHants]

Aren't all sandwiches plant based?

Can vegan plants be fed animal manure?

Think they'd rather feed them with fossil fuel based fertiliser

 

[alomy75]

Aren't all sandwiches plant based?

Cheese; mayo; meat…

Cheese; mayo; meat…

Between two slices of bread.

Is there any vegan farmers on here ?
Just out of interest
And no I'm not vegan, I do eat a bit like a rabbit though

" plant-based options are the most expensive sandwich types, making the most sustainable option less accessible"

They have absolutely no idea which filling is the most sustainable but packaging it in plastic and having short use by dates probably makes them all pretty unsustainable.
