Although they have high lighted the supermarkets and the sh#t they sell, they have also mentioned how beef and lamb are the biggest contributor to the carbon foot print.

And yet again dowsing crops with water whilst narrating about pesticide use.

To be closely followed by the great british beef scandal Mad cow disease on thursday at 9pm.
I doubt they will focus on Professor Lacey and his predictions of mass casualties due to new variant CJD that have come to nothing. He was presented as an expert in much the same way as the professor arguing that beef and lamb have a high carbon footprint ( whatever that is). He gets his moment in the sun and his fee and then dissapears in the same way Lacey has but meanwhile his fake science has done serious damage if the gullible public have listened to his flawed logic.

Simple answer NO.They have a political agenda and this has been going on for several years.They love giving the Liberal elite plenty of positive airtime and like to portray centreright Conservatism as elite,arrogant and dangerous politics always trying to connect it with the extreme right.Then we come to the environment and Veganism ,this is when they really get the propaganda machine rolling.
Hmmmm, can we trust the BBC to be truthful?
pathetic, and it effected /still effects the sheep industry as well and despite no scrapie connection found either. people given a lot money for nothing productive will be the end of the world more like.
There was one little nugget of information where they stated that if you drank 1 glass of wine every 7 years, then that
glass would have more residual pesticides/toxins in it than you would get from the food in the average diet - and i
cannot remember the time span for consuming the food., but my jaw did drop at this fact. And since opening a
bottle whilst watching TV is now routine i was wondering how many years of toxins were consumed in the UK
whilst this programme was on.

I believe,and always will,that BSE was caused by every keeper of bovine animals being compelled by law to pour organophosphorous compound along the back of every beast on their holding to eradicate warble fly. Of course if this were proven so it would be very embarrassing for HM government !
Which at the end of their lives were rendered down and returned into the food chain, multiplying up the ingestion of the OPs!
If you look at a graph of the occurrence of BSE with time , the graph is a classic poisoning occurrence one! Strange that!

I was almost believing it until the "expert" started stating the inefficient folly of feeding soya to beef cattle and trotting out the same tired incorrect mention of methane as a reason not to eat beef............. while promoting chicken, which no doubt will be used to beat us under the "welfare" label at a later date...
Single issue biased agenda driven drivel on the whole ??
But what else do we expect from the dear old beeb ???
No mention why potatoes are sprayed regularly, it's as if the Irish potato famine had been irradicated from the beebs view of history...

That’s what I was thinking, if every farmer stopped their tv licence it would create some publicity

Its funny how the uk used it at four times the normal dose and the swiss at twice the dose IIRC and then guess which two countries had the highst incidence of BSE, yet the government refused to do any investigations of a link cant think why they wouldnt want the truth to come out
The lad who was the first to die from Nvcjd lived near us and he was in the army cadets or something and they treated their tents with OP to kill bugs etc, some of the others who suffered also part time in the forces in a similar way.
