An interesting life, and biography:

Here is the article:

Neal's Yard, 1981

Hippy, capitalist, guru, grocer: the forgotten genius who changed British food

Nicholas Saunders was a counterculture pioneer with an endless stream of quixotic schemes and a yearning to spread knowledge – but his true legacy is a total remaking of the way Britain eats

Not sure where I saw this, finally got to it, and it is a quite interesting, engaging and well-written.
Quite an impact on sectors of British life, particularly, but even without prior familiarity, his seems a unique and passionate life.

There's even a nod to his cheese/dairy venture (along with his coffee and green-grocer projects), as it inspired Monty Python.

So, finally closing the tab, but first wanted to share it. Interesting guy, good read, bit of history not widely known (in the U.S., anyway).

Once upon a time a stranger could arrive in London and buy this little book
which hooked them into the network of Alternative London... The first edition
cost 30p the last one cost £3.50...They now sell for silly money... Anyways...
The linked article in today's Guardian reminded me of those daze, well worth
a gander....
