This week Tesco announced that their plant based mince is now CHEAPER than their animal-based equivalent! A milestone in a changing landscape of people's food choices? Or just a one off? As well as looking at this story, Dominic, Paul & Shane dissect eight other bits of news from the last week  in the vegan & animal rights space.
