Out of interest, how many acres does it take to feed a meat eater ?
The average US consumer today requires more than 2.5 acres of land each year to sustain his or her current diet.
SO half a vegetarian..
Save the planet - eat more meat..

At presemt teh UK imports half its own food. If we all went vegan, we would have to import a lot more.. Soya does not grow ell on northern slopes where sheep graze......And teh Amazon would be totally deforested to meat demand...
Don't start me on teh Green Party's carbon neutral by 2030 policy. It is totally unachieavable in any shape or form - unless we stop all immigration, all new births and the sun shines and night and the wind blows all the time.,.. and add in a touch of assisted suicihe - about 20 million will do,
