[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7915462, member: 54866"] The whole vegan thing is being driven hard by food companies because meat and animal products are actually expensive compared to vegetable matter or ingredients. Look at the killing out percentage of a pig, chicken or a lamb and compare it to a potato or parsnip? The idea of turning a load of veg into a puree or mash and calling it a burger is a food manufacturer's dream because the margin involved will be nuts. Throw in the spin about health benefits of veganism etc and it literally sells itself. The beauty of livestock has always been you can grow them on desert scrub or the side of a frozen Scottish hillside and they will work the same. They can also make use of by products from other industrial processes and feedstocks which would otherwise have to be disposed of in an AD plant or similar. Waste veg, waste spuds, waste from palm oil production, waste from rapeseed oil processing, you name it, livestock hoover it up no problem. [/QUOTE]
