Given they get around £2 million a day in subsidies plus other extras, I reckon they just build it in to their business model. Interest rate changes for the £7 billion plus they've had is probably a bigger hit.
That's just a leaf in the forest, the subsidy scheme was due to end in 2027 but has been extended to the end of the decade. That will cost the taxpayer/ bill payer an extra 4 billion.
That sounds like nonsense to me. There are so many easy available proteins without raising animals then killing them. Pig and poultry reduction would not ‘pour the world into hunger’ especially if it was done gradually with replacement crops planted.
