Programme on BBC1 just starting now, "Meat : A Threat To Our Planet?"
If humans were meant to be vegetarian we would have 3 stomachs like vegetarian animals. The fact is that carnivores can eat once a week and lie around in the sun all day but vegetarian animals need to spend most of the day ( and some of the night ) eating - and are generally of lower intelligence than carnivores... just like green party members.
Thanks
I watched it..
Now I am in favour of protecting and improving our environment and have no doubt of the correctnes of the message of teh program that current meat growing mthods are uunsustainable.
But I thought the way the program was presenetd -with Liz Bronin showing her views from teh very start - were DESIGNED to offend meat eaters..
And farmers..
And it concentrated on US farming which is irreleant to us UK citizens,.. (we cannot alter it in any way)..
No mention of UK farming at all.
And a piece of a Welsh droput growing chickens in the country telling us this was teh way to go.. As if the 50million people living in cities have the land to do that.
And as for getting in touch with how our food ids grown.. Butchers have been selling meat for centuries..Now supermarkkets..- No one is allowed to kill animals for slaughter - they have to go to an abattoir..
I thought it was so thoroughly biased - mind made up - as to be counterproductive..
(Sprry for typos .. broken glasses)
It's like listening to fanatical vegans telling me that honey should not be eaten as it'ss "exploiting the bees" I am a beekeeper..With nothing against vegans ..live and let live...
