I can guarantee you here and now that if this thing sees the light of day it will give the impression that the damage, the blame and the responsibility for reparation lies with the farmer.
It is greenwash for the cartel, so that they can include it in the annual report for shareholders and use it to tell Government to back off whilst carrying on regardless.
Only an idiotic industry would allow itself to be used in this way.

It's already being used on products. Right now.

My concern is the data is based on is inaccurate. Some might say misleading especially when the farming figures are examined. They don't need our permission to use farming data, they have it all from these international reports, the same reports that do have an agenda. The reports that say all red meat across the planet is produced the same.

I am an not advocating for or against this, it's happening regardless. But in this instance, UK lamb would have a better eco rating than NZ lamb when on a UK shelf and vice versa on a NZ shelf. As the difference would be the transport.

Goodness me

Real food doesn't have "labels" on it, it has soil on it, or maybe even sh!t still stuck to it somewhere.
Maybe it swallowed your hook, incredibly many people will drive daily to a supermarket and gobble this kind of bait, and we're meant to be an apex species 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

High time to stop feeding this monster

I have got cattle that never go out, and cattle that never come in. I have got cattle that eat soya meal, and cattle that eat tor grass. I have got cattle that are ready to kill in 14 months, and cattle that take 30 months. I challenge anyone to show me how one system is 'better' for the environment than the other. I could move all of them to one system or the other, and the environmental impact would remain the square root of sweet feck all.
It's all bollox.

The reports that get so much fundamentally wrong. Even basic stuff like emissions do not equal warming impact. They don’t even look at warming impact because they don’t even understand what’s important.
