They don’t all look British, and at the end it encourages people to go vegan for Lent, so it’s not new. Can someone not put something similar together showing the industrialised production of “plant based” foods? Soya plantations, palm oil, European glasshouses?

Difficult to defend such farms though. I'm certainly not comfortable with the increase of them in this country.She's at it again - closer to home she says. I'm sure this is not all in UK?

Quite agree but if she’s spreading lies she needs to be taken to task.

Seems the sort of stance you'd expect him to take on the subject.
Expanding on that a bit, the other day I caught a snippet of a programme on the wireless that was taking about people and companies buying 'carbon credits' to offset their plane flights, etc, etc.
It got me thinking.
How many acres of permanent pasture equals one seat on a jumbo jet flying to America?
How do we go about hiring that spinney at the bottom of the farm to a family in the village so they can salve their consciences when they have a holiday in Tenerife?
If people are already buying these carbon credits, how do we go about registering all our carbon sinks so we can take advantage?
It could be a nice little earner.

But they produce cheap food for the masses.
People are entitled to what ever they want. Mobile phones, foreign holidays, plastic tat and cheap food.
That's the modern world.

I noticed this when I was filling up with diesel last night. There was a sign saying that if you use the Shell app, they will offset the carbon emissions from the fuel you have just purchased. Is this done by planting trees I wonder?

Mate of mine who works in ag consulting and does lot of work with the supermarkets reckons there could be big opportunities coming regarding carbon offsetting from other industries, we still need to feed the world though
before you get to excited how many farms/farm businesses are carbon neutral or carbon sequesting when taken as a whole ?

you may need that little spinney yourself
bull 1t that's what carbon offsetting is well as regards to planting trees anyway, how long before the trees are cut down and burnt ?
once the coal and oil and gas that has been buried for millions of years id dug up and burnt you can't put it back but folk won't except this they want to do as they please and find a quick easy for them solution, well getting rid of a few farm animals or planting a few trees isn't it so tough sh1t

BBC at it again with their Christmas trailer.
Nut roast or something similarly labelled on the dinner table and a turkey wearing a Christmas jumper with "I love vegans" on it.
Somebody needs to shut them down

David Mitchell's ancestors were large scale sheep farmers in Caithness I think , though ! Saw it in a " Who Do You Think You Are ".
