Overweight and unhealthy Britain saved by vegetables being more expensive hence desirable?
That being said this is a right wing propaganda news outlet, or at least smells like that.

The Big Issue a right-wing propaganda news outlet? ๐คฃ The publication is focussed on tackling homelessness and social justice, if anything it's left-wing.
It's about their phrasing, ad presence etc.
That is very cheap, where?
Also carrots are harvested by machines, not people. So it makes sense that it is an incredibly low price.
The article says that 7p carrots would be a loss leader or perhaps a temporary deal.
Still requires large amounts of fertiliser, diesel, water, and labour over the growth cycle.
Large amounts over the entire field, but very little per carrot.
I don't know Zack, are carrots the fish we need to fry right now?
If it results in better conditions for farmers, and gets them on board with the Greens, I'm down with that.
I like the sound of that. Greens and people in the agriculture sector should be natural allies, I'm just used to nothing but disappointment from anyone of an agrarian bent. But it needn't be so.
