Adam Henson and almonds

Henson speaking some sense about the environmental cost of vegan alternatives.

Farmer Adam Henson claims almond milk and avocados are environmentally ‘disastrous’

TV presenter suggests Britons should eat locally-produced meat and dairy rather than imported plant-based alternatives

Apologies if its been posted elsewhere, surprised I hadn't seen it brought up.

Henson has a programme on C5 so perhaps he will throw off the BBC lefty vegan shackles and create his own identity in the future rather than spouting the Countryfile line.

I don't mind Henson, he's a bright guy, if he left the BBC he could do a lot more good.

Seen him and Clarkson together in the past at the Cornbury music festival. Without muzzling they would be a very entertaining two some

Realistically the British Broadcasting Corporation is finished, they are too much to the right for many because it's main players are mainly straight white males and too much to the left for everyone else.
At the moment they aren't pleasing anyone.
I will be pleased with the BBC when they shut down.

Can't stand countryfile, it is absolute pants. I could never accept the BBC's shilling, I would sooner create a program and take the money from the Amazon tax dodger.

If Clarkson gets a second season. Its not been renewed yet has it?

The 2018 Oxford study mentioned half way through the article ~ does the research about milk stand scrutiny? Is it untouched by anti-meat agenda?

My only concern with this appearing on GBNews is that it takes on an overtly political slant.

Food supply, environment policies etc should be kept as apolitical and science based as possible.

Can't find where I saw it, but this article saying it hasn't yet:

The former Top Gear presenter debunked claims that season two was already in production, telling fans to 'write to Amazon' if they want the show to return.

Can't remember where I read it but it was an article about viewing figures and it mentioned that a 2nd series had already been commissioned. I could be wrong though...

That's very good. Whoever he is he should be recruited by the NFU to redo that to be put out under their brand.
edit: because his message isn't actually anti-vegan, he has just done that to grab the attention, but rather it is pro-local.

there are plenty of people out there trying to get the message over but it does against modern thinking there are so many ignorant folks who are prepared to listen to bull sh-t because it suits them and gives them someone to pick on and criticize very few understand how complicated the workings of the countryside are

Then we learn from Animal Rebellion. Decide what your message is, and just keep repeating it, over and over again, making use of all the media options that exist.
Our problem is we don't even know what our message is.

Only problem I can see is the bit about methane - because when it breaks down it becomes CO2…

Sure, but at least he made the point about it breaking down in 10 years, just needs explaining that then taken up by the grass.
Meanwhile the NFU continue to go around apologizing for methane, saying that we will feed our cows additives to reduce its damage to the planet, as if every cow is as big an environmental problem as the internal combustion engine. We really are useless.

Which gets taken up by growing crops, ate by animals, emitted as methane and so on, its part of a natural cycle unlike some other sources which just add to the CO2 in the atmosphere
