[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2203009, member: 365308"] Listened to Minnette Walters (head of Farmers' Union) very good points on Radio 4 yesterday I think in response to the idea of reducing our land use to animals/reducing nos. of farmed animals by 10% namely that our food is for enjoyment and health. She went on to suggest we should focus on eating whole foods. As we have a maritime climate in the UK, the land is best suited to raising grazing animals who do a good job of converting grass into nutritious protein. Many vegetarian foods tend to be highly processed and some carry a high carbon footprint (almonds and avocados) and not environmentally friendly where they are grown. I can only assume that the government committee simply cut and paste a template on demonising animal produce under the guise of being environmentally friendly. [/QUOTE]
