    And so it begins: Eat less meat or we’ll make you.

    Can I just point out that animal births already have to be registered at birth, for pigs, sheep, goats and cattle, I think I have missed camelids, every animal traced when ever it moves, even if its to the local agriculural show.They are ear tagged with unique numbers. Someone I know got fined...

    And so it begins: Eat less meat or we’ll make you.

    I can not work this out. Its was written in 2010, he has obviously decided for what ever reason to change his oppinion. Most of the farming community seem to think he is just out to make money, being moderate doesn't give you much air time or sell books.

    Are We Seeing the Beginning of the End?

    My penny worth. When you have problems with your BP, or heart its now quite common to be sent home with a the equipment to monitor your BP, or a 24hrs ecg. I thinks diabetes Type 2 treated the old way was seen as something that the patient either couldn't control or was unable to understand...

    Where to get HOMA-IR & c-peptide test in UK

    Consultants will often only stick to opinions on their own speciality, which you obviously have over lapping treatment/conditions. The steriods will effect your blood sugars, and if you are unwell or stressed that will raise them to. As your Hba1c is a normal range, it will not flag anything up...

    Some doctors are incredibly unaware of the basics of diabetes

    I am controlling my diabetes with my diet which makes my figures look almost normal, and there lies the problem, most HCP can not believe that you can control your BS much by changing your diet. They are so used to seeing with results over 14-20 that to your GP probabely thinks thats OK. The...

    Cheaper Cuts of Meat

    You need permission to shoot on someones land, and some use an airgun or ferrets. I used to rent a field where they used to shoot when it was dusk. https://www.airgunmagazine.co.uk/features/hunting-features/qa-when-can-i-hunt-rabbits/

    Type 2 Unsure about advice from GP

    My standby is the crustless quiche, I keep it in a flat sandwich box.Olives, humus,halloumi fries, avocado, chopped salad of cucumber, tomatoes,peppers and onion, in some dressing which keeps about three days. I am a snacker so I always keep, nut and seed bars in my bag, and sometimes use them...

    And so it begins: Eat less meat or we’ll make you.

    Like I said people want a simple solution but its multifaceted, as a gobal community we have a nutrition deficit, which can not be solved with totally plant based products. As someone who didn't eat meat for 30 plus years my opinions are not based on this being about veganism but a lack of...

    And so it begins: Eat less meat or we’ll make you.

    Vegans want simple solutions and its not that simple. Many of us are alive due to animal testing or byproducts of animals used in treatments. To live very simply and remain in good health you need a bit of grazing and for most of the world, a dairy animal and perhaps a few chickens. Its been a...

    7 weeks post T2D diagnosis and struggling

    Most of the feeds and food supplements provided by the NHS are full of sugar and carbs, I was on a feed overnight for 7 weeks and even with insulin my sugars were high, but dropped as soon as I came off it. To maintain my weight I replaced as much as I could with meat and a sauce, veg, and nuts...

    7 weeks post T2D diagnosis and struggling

    I agree its a different way of thinking and eating, but its a bit like learning to ride a bike, you think you are never going to get it and then it clicks. I had been eating low fat since the 1980's but just got bigger and my cholesterol was always in the higher range, it went down when I went...

    Letter to Desmond

    What I do not understand is there are conditions where people can not metabolise protein, it builds up and can damage the eyes and can effect a childs development, so its important that they are on a low protein diet, supplemented by amino acid drinks. No one would ever suggest they should not...

    Low mood, feeling like a failure and wanting to self harm again

    Sometimes life is just poop, and having a good cry is just the best thing that can happan, even if it is at work. Some of us are are copers, at least on the surface, and because we look like we cope, we often get ignored and we hate making a fuss. I do not know if you have looked at the self...

    I have no clue what to do...please help

    Hi, although his BS is high depending on what he has eaten that could be the reason. The best way to explain this is to have a look at this. https://phcuk.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Common-Foods-29.03.2019.png If he is not eating hardly any carbs, he is obviously not processing the 'sugar '...

    Reducing our carbon footprint BY dairy farming...

    Its doesn't make sense. We probabely eat more meat than we need to provide enough protein and the right protein for our bodies. If you eat only plant protein it is not nutrient dense so you have eat more of it. Anyone who has been on a low carb diet will tell you end up eating less food. The...
