[QUOTE="PSQ, post: 8207682, member: 11374"] I'm an arable farmer, I have no 'skin in the game'. But I'm also a consumer, and I don't like my friends and family being lied to by corporations intent on selling ultra processed sh!t on the pretence that they're "saving the planet one meal at time": The Vegetarian Butcher - owned by Unilever. Califia Farms - a brand Oat [URL='https://califiafarms.co.uk/blogs/the-bounty/amendment-171']'milk'[/URL] (click the link!) on the illusion that it's better for the planet. In reality it's manufactured near Barcelona in Spain, and then trucked 2000km to my local Sainsbury's. Quorn, a protein originally developed by ICI as a cattle feed, created in vats of Fusarium Venenatum fungus, hydrolysed starch solution and ammonia. But it's good for the planet and global warming right? Funnily enough, Mo Farrah doesn't mention that it produces a vast amount of CO2 as it's being produced. But it's 'safe to eat', as it was [URL='http://www.davidmoore.org.uk/21st_century_guidebook_to_fungi_platinum/Ch17_18.htm']tested on Baboons[/URL] and many other species in the 70's and 80's. Tesco, the purveyors of the [I]finest[/I] horse meat and bulls**t, [URL='https://www.tescoplc.com/news/2020/tesco-commits-to-300-sales-increase-in-meat-alternatives/']commits to 300% increase in meat alternatives[/URL] while cosying up to the WWF (who should really know better), while flying in the cheapest produce it can find from anywhere on the planet.
