Can't believe my daughter told me they showed some of this meat documentary at school on Wednesday in a Beliefs and values lesson
And the teacher came from a farming background?
Maybe I should point her in the direction of harrys farm video
My son came home from school yesterday & said in his English lesson on the board was Dairy cows have their calves taken away at birth.
It wasn't discussed just left on the board.

I’ve been planning on limiting my TFF exposure, but I had to share this & here is probably the best place.
I was just listening to ABC ( our equivalent of BBC ) radio. A Sydney based afternoon show, a regular money / investment segment
The regular expert / investment advice guru, was saying that BEEF was the big investment for the future. Particularly Australia & North America
This was a cold, objective, no emotion involved view based purely on analysis with a global perspective & investment advice with a view of making money

take from that what you will . . .

I just thought it was an interesting counter point to all the vegan & “the jobs fûcked” negative post that seem to dominate THFF
How that relates to the UK - I have no idea. Just realise that there is a HUGE demand worldwide for animal protein . . .








THFF
( the hobby farmer forum )
as so many people seem to treat farming like a tax payer funded hobby / birth right, rather than a business . . .
Yes we wouldn't want you over exposing yourself on here ;)(y)

I did change it after reading it, my excuse is I'm not English , did learn it at school but weren't ever very good at it (y)

That gives further strength to my theory that it is the non-English folks on here who make the most sense (y). (or are you just saying Cornish isn't English ? :) ).

that's and interesting point wasn't the Nazis policy toward the Jews that they should all be got rid of much the same as some vegans policy toward farm animals is that they should all be got rid of, therefore some of these vegans are like Nazis in that respect
You could say that greengrocers are just concentration camps for vegetables...vegetables who were very happy just living out in the fields and not being brutally slaughtered and ripped from the soil to be eaten by blood thirsty vegans

RethinkX lol. Had a quick glance at what they're predicting for transport. Talk about a bunch of self-deluded comedians. 2030 seems to be the date the world's gonna turn upside down according to them.

This is but one of many reports that forecast something similar within a variable but usually slightly longer timescale.

I noticed that a Mc Vegan burger was available in Germany a few weeks ago. Im surprised they've lasted this long before catching on.

I wont be buying one.

You might not but I bet that quite a significant percentage of their offerings will be vegan within two years and that it will be consumer driven. Even regular meat eaters will substitute this kind of thing every now and again and it will make a massive difference to demand for the alternative…… our meat and dairy products.
