Some fake bacon products contain more than three times the amount of salt as a portion of large McDonald's Fries, a MailOnline audit of all of Tesco's fake meat options can reveal. A Beyond Meat plant based burger contains more fat per 100g (19g) than a regular Aberdeen Angus beef burger (17.3g), according to our audit of more than 90 meat free products. Dietician Dr Duane Mellor stresses that just because something is meat-free doesn't mean it is healthier.

Today, the top 50 products of the year were announced, with Aldi washing powder as the surprise leader of a list containing a barbecue, shredder, and thermometer. In the competition by consumer champion Which?, the supermarket's Almat Bio washing powder, costing just £3.95, was followed by a £449 notebook and a low-cost cooker. The list is based on extensive testing, sampling, pulling, and prodding by its independent experts, and covers everything from baked beans to electric cars. Many of the options provide premium quality and performance at a reasonable price in the wake of the cost of living squeeze. At the same time, many of the best buy choices are from budget or relatively little-known companies. While on the face of it these products are very different, the experts at Which? They have been ranked from top to bottom in this series.

Meat is back in the menu: The rise of'smashed burgers' is fueling beef cravings, but plant-based produce is decreasing

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 19, 2023
Figures show that the increasing popularity of'smashed burgers' (left) in Britain could be fueling demand for beef as demand for plant-based meat substitutes drops. Beyond Meat (upper right) reported last week that sales dropped by nine percent as demand for its vegan burger alternatives came to a halt, and it will be cutting around a third of its workforce in response. But it isn't just Beyond Meat that is in danger, with total sales of meat alternatives down 13.6 percent over the last year. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, and Morrisons have all reduced their vegan ranges by ten percent, and coffee chain Pret A Manger sold 75% of its vegetarian-only stores last December. According to Statista results, meat intake in the United Kingdom is on the increase, with the average person eating 134lb of meat in 2022 compared to 121lb in 2012.

Stella McCartney, 52, may be the darling of the fashion world, but her would-be neighbours in the Scottish Highlands are putting up a fight against her plan for a £5MILLION modernist mansion

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 14, 2023
Stella McCartney has applied to build a massive glass-fronted house in one of the country's wildest areas - to locals who have branded it a 'carbuncle.' Even though the designer, Linda McCartney, and her Beatles legend husband Sir Paul, has been a devoted supporter of wildlife, including local families of otters. The'monstrous' house could also have Scot pine trees cut down and walkers barred from the beach, according to the experts. Around 150 miles north-west of Glasgow, McCartney and her partner Alasdhair Willis purchased a plot of land on the coast of the West Highlands. The couple have submitted proposals with Highland Council, including a statement from architects Brown & Brown stating that a "simple materials palette" would be used "with a modern and complementary mix of rough-cut natural Scottish stone" as well as concrete and weathering steel.

'There's only one f***ing star in this family': How Paul McCartney stopped Linda, the wife who saved his life, from penning her own extraordinary memoir

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 7, 2023
LESLEY-ANN JONES: No selfies were taken. There are no conversations. The regulations were strict, and an alert was sent in advance by email. At a formal dinner, Paul McCartney brought me and a group of celebrities, and we were supposed to behave ourselves. In the Green Room at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts [LIPA] in 2019, I was stunned to see Macca himself walk in and stroll straight across to us as I was chatting with writer Mike Batt, an old friend of Macca's. Perhaps he recognized me as the ghostwriter who worked on Linda's autobiography more than 30 years ago... an autobiography that was never completed. We were whisked back to the cluttered, flag-stoned kitchen at their cottage in Peasmarsh, East Sussex, where Linda and Paul lived a bohemian life, showing their faces at village fetes and delivering their children to the local schools in old Land Rovers and Volvo estates. The house was a mess of falling-apart furniture and Bric-a-brac. Guitars were stacked like firewood. Mud is everywhere. I spotted a Van Gogh in a small, cosy side room with a wood fire.

I know it dates back to me, but being a Linda means I'm from the time when women's lives were changed by women's lives

Linda, in its heyday, represented much more than a dull name. Linda, in fact, belongs to a generation of women who have reapped the benefits of postwar prosperity, improved education, increased freedoms, and optimism.

Has Britain finally reached peak vegan?How consumers are switching back to real meat amid claims pricier plant-based alternatives are no better for your health - as Beyond Meat sales slump and stores ditch vegan products amid cost-of-living crisis

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 9, 2023
Beyond Meat, which is promoted by Kim Kardashian (right) to millions of followers, has reported a 30.3 percent decrease in sales and even more financial loss in the first quarter. According to industry experts, animal-free foods are facing a reckoning because their animal-free recipes are often more expensive than their meaty inspirations - and because of questions over whether they're good for you (see figure below). According to research by The Grocer, the number of meat-free items in a typical supermarket decreased by ten percent in six months as retailers such as Tofoo, Quorn, and Linda McCartney cut back on their product lines.

Could the McPlant soon be off the menu? A THIRD at McDonald's vegan burger chain Beyond Meat has seen a sales slump, with shops reducing expensive meat free items on their shelves as a result of the cost of living crisis

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 9, 2023
Beyond Meat has reported a decrease in revenues and a decrease in volume by almost a quarter in the last quarter relative to the previous year. Beyond sells burgers, meatballs, sausages, and mince made of plant proteins and has worked with McDonalds to develop its McPlant burger, an animal-free quarter-pounder served with eggless mayonnaise and vegan cheese. However, if the company's fortunes weren't turned around, the McPlant could have been thrown into the garbage if it wasn't, because a number of well-known brands have either completely scrapped vegan items from their ranges or altogether.

Is the millennial mania for going "vegan"?

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 31, 2023
First, it was Pret, which closed half of its vegetarian and vegan stores after finding that many customers don't see themselves as 'complete vegetarians.' Following low demand, then Nestle came to help, removing two of its plant-based brands from shops in the United Kingdom. And now Innocent. Since joking that only five people had brought the drink, the spirits company has shelved its dairy-free milk range. So has millennials' love for veganism suddenly soured?

Are sanctions REALLY wrecking life in Russia?As British supermarkets ration eggs and vegetables

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 6, 2023
SUE REID: The photos were taken at a food hall, two superstores, and a corner shop in Perm, a city with a population similar to Birmingham in the Ural mountains. The photos indicate that the West's long-awaited sanctions against Russia, which were designed to punish President Putin for his invasion, are not triggering a deep bite. What's more, the scenes are a reversal from 40 years ago, when many of us watched a horrific TV video showing Russians under the Communist regime queuing for staples such as bread and eggs. Now it's Britain's turn to fail. As UK farmers struggle with higher energy prices, they are rationing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and lettuces, preventing them from growing them in winter. In the stores, soft fruit, such as raspberries, is also impossible to find.

After Stella McCartney used wild horses, PETA'tips our vegan hats' to the 'animal-friendly pioneer' Stella McCartney

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 6, 2023
Linda McCartney, the PETA founder, loved horses and was inspired in her children, but she would never tolerate any kind of mistreatment of them - or other animals. 'PETA tips our vegan hats to animal-friendly fashion pioneer Stella McCartney, who demonstrated that her stunning designs are made of apples, mushrooms, microfibre, and other exciting fabrics, a warning for any designer still using fur, leather, or exotic skins to pay attention to.' But not everybody shared Ms Newkirk's opinion, and Animal Aid's spokesperson said that using horses, particularly feral breeds, in a closed environment such as this was "ethically questionable." Stella McCartney is amazed that she is using any horses, let alone the difficult Camargue breed in her show, according to the spokesman. Feral Camargue horses have been subjected to exploitation for centuries because of their tiny stature and calm temperament.

Stella McCartney is the first celebrity to sell a vegan skin-care line

www.popsugar.co.uk, August 31, 2022
Stella McCartney is about to debut Stella, a new vegan skin-care line that has paved the way for conscious luxury fashion since 2001. McCartney's evolution comes a month after the launch of their simple, three-part vegan beauty brand S'able Labs by Idris and Sabrina Elba. McCartney's latest range — which she has described as a "ethical alternative to luxury [skin care] — also includes three items: a cleanser, a serum, and a cream — and will be available in September. The fashion designer is best known for her cruelty-free clothing and accessories, so it's no surprise that her latest skin-care collection is both vegan and cruelty free. McCartney herself is a lifelong vegetarian and has a "no animal" approach when designing her clothing, which is perhaps due to her parents' influence, animal rights campaigner Linda McCartney, and Paul McCartney of The Beatles' Paul McCartney. Every Stella product is sustainably produced, as you would expect from a member of the environmentalist McCartney family. Organic rock samphire, biochemical lingonberry extract, wild organic birch sap, and wild harvested dulse algae extract are all naturally grown. The bottles to the pump were made from reusable and recycled materials. There's also a refill system in place, allowing you the ability to top up your stash at a lower price than buying completely new containers. To put into perspective how useful this is for the planet: the first refill lowers the product's environmental impact by a third, and the second refill lowers the impact by half. When the refill is used on its own, the effect on climate change is two-thirds smaller. Sustainable and cost-effective? That's a combination we love to see.
