They had them at the Hannah Research Institute back in the mid- seventies - when I was at Auchincruive ( just along the road ) we were taken there. Can still remember the smell.
Meat: a threat to our planet.

So was that an out take from last night's show?
Totally agree @Clive and I highlighted this suicide risk in my complaint to the BBC last night .I would urge anyone who hasn’t done so to get onto the complaints department of the BBC and let them know your feelings because unless they are told they will continue to produce this left wing vegan propaganda.

For all those who are feeling the stress
FCN has a helpline open from 7am to 11pm. Or email [email protected]
As a person said to me the other day
"I didn't really know what was wrong with me, and I had no idea that others suffered as well. The FCN is an amazing organisation I hope one day I am feeling well enough to volunteer."
Please anyone pick up the phone or email
So why the hell didn't they show that bit of footage last night???
Whoops, sorry to quote myself but I've missed out a couple of words obvs:
If all animal production was ended overnight all over the globe the grand total of the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions would be..........

Because it doesn't suit their agenda,
even Liz Bonnin begrudgingly has to admit that grass fed animals are okay and grassland sequesters carbon in that clip but it does not suit the beebs top brass I'm guessing

"BBC forced to make second Panorama style investigation report after serious failings in balanced journalism exposed by NFU spokesperson. In the second film several mis-edited clips were introduced and the AHDB were found wanting in actually highlighting areas of production measurement and evaluation "
And then I woke up
Farmers start beef with BBC as meat documentary's claims come under fire
It was meant to be a documentary exploring the impact our carnivorous ways was having on the planet.

So the only way to cure the worlds ills is to stop eating meat. No mention of the elephant in the room- human population growth.

Use to be a cow on a farm around here years ago that kept blowing and the vet left a hole like that in to one of the stomachs to stop it happening.
You had to watch when mucking the cowshed out and if close to her, that now and then it would squirt you if you were'nt watching!
I have an idea
could we do a documentary on the news media and go to a country run by a controlling dictatorship to do it
We then could headline the program "News media needs to be banned"
because news is possibly supressed and bias and facts are covered up
If its like it there it must be everywhere
What you think?

Not yet. I want any seaweed to be grown specifically, and not taken from the wild, too.
Probably a silly question, but would biotin do the same thing? A yeast, so easy to culture.

Did'nt they use bi carb on silage too
It’s much bigger than BBC’s own agenda -
my guess is if you follow the money far enough oil and gas is behind this attack on agriculture which has clearly been singled out as an easy target to distract attention from the real story re GHG’s
Until Uk Ag gets some decent fit fir purpose representation we will always be a soft target

Sorry if this is a stupid question or has already been asked but if the program was brought to the bbc to be aired would it not be an idea to see who asked them to air it or who commissioned it? We know who the production company are so surely thats a starting point. Maybe thats not how it works, im not much into tv really

From that:
The National Farmers' Union also weighed in. Fran Barnes, the head of communications at the NFU, said: “Meat A Threat To Our Planet is showing farming about as far removed from British beef production as it is possible to be.
The NFU have a head of communications ? Every day a school day.
Rather than slagging off the BBC after the event, their time and effort would be far, far better spent doing what a communications department should do:
Building relationships with journalists, sowing seeds for story ideas, putting farmers forward who can string a sentence together, etc.
You know, like the environmental organisations so despised by the NFU do. On a tiny fraction of the NFU's budget.
So long as the NFU see every one - the BBC, the environmental movement - as the enemy, they will achieve sod all on behalf of the industry.
And while I am at it: moaning about the effect of the programme on farmers mental health - people who are only seen by the public as having the mental stress of deciding what to spend the subsidy money on - is a complete and utter waste of time, however real the problem may be.
We - the industry - should deal with such issues in house (which we do very well) not air it in public. It achieves nothing.
