[QUOTE="betweenthelines, post: 6655632, member: 45282"] But noticeably not Europe until the Welsh good lifers. So what did we learn tonight? Americans eat (and will continue to) a lot of meat, a lot of pigs will produce a lot of pigshyte, It's not really a good idea to burn lots of woodland so you can get into extensive ranching, intensive arable farming reduces biodiversity, you can grow meat substitute in a lab but they won't tell you how or what effect it may have on the environment. But what were we not told? That European meat production is far better for the environment that American and South American production methods. Animal waste is literally part of the life cycle of food production. Intensive production of crops for human rather than animal feed will have a similar impact on biodiversity and that industrialised food production may not solve anything. Oh, and that if a guy in Wales hits a chicken over the head with a lump of 4 x 2, that's a perfectly acceptable way of slaughter-so it won't be long before Waitrose and M&S start selling authentic "wood stunned, high welfare chicken. Can't wait to see that guy "stun" a 600kg Lim steer with a length of scaffold plank As I type this, the news is reporting on the case of a man allowed to starve and die of thirst in a UK hospital, when he complained, staff said he was a "troublemaker" Yeah, there's a lot wrong in this world, but eating a beefburger isn't a major problem [/QUOTE]
