I like your thinkingI vote to boycott them and make them keep eating their nuts and beans.

Monbiot said you use energy to split a water molecule to produce hydrogen to make this new super food.
That video definitely needs to be sent round to all the schools.This one?
A lot of good info in there, but quite hard to listen to.That video definitely needs to be sent round to all the schools.
Soya is the only compleat plant protein, so if you are not eating meat, its the best thing to eat, its easily made in to a mince subitute,and its cheap TVP. 500g could feed a family of four at least three meals. Its been around for years. If people were really interested in veganism sales would go up.
It is mostly sold in the basic ranges section of supermarkets,
Its funny no one mentions it, because it either not trendy, or their is no added value money to be made from it, unless its hydrated and frozen and sold a vegatable mince. Or perhaps it because it undermines the vegan arguement that eating plants causes less damage because to feed the planet cheaply production would have to increase. Its production would also be more difficult to control, not like patented fake meat.Tesco Wholefood Soya Mince - Tesco Groceries

Slightly off topic.
Nuts and Beans must be part of a vegan diet that Monbiot is promoting , yet I assume many Vegans are allergic to Nuts and Beans,
hopefully that will mean some of them will get seriously ill from their diet, and if at deaths door be only to pleased to eat a convential diet that includes meat.
Thats so mad I had to have a quick google,The Sacramento valley in California produces 80% of the worlds Almonds and is being destroyed by them. The above and below ground water is seriously depleted and the soil is becoming toxic from sprays. Apparently, it takes one gallon (US) of water to produce one almond, one Walnut takes 5 gallons and one tomato take 3.3 gallons. Makes Beef and lamb look pretty reasonable.

Well said neilo... I could not have put it better myself...I agree, it’s good business to take advantage of the opportunities that you’re presented with. I would suggest that it isn’t necessarily much good for that land in the long term, or for the patchwork of small fields, surrounded by wildlife corridors, that make the British countryside so beautiful and such a diverse environment. I guess it depends how short term your attitude is, as regards the land & countryside.....
If subs get removed overnight then I’m sure rents will fall. However, they won’t fall low enough, fast enough, for most of the tenants that are on 3 year review cycles.
The average sub to UK farm businesses is supposed to be something like £26k iirc, and most livestock benchmarking figures show that the average beef & sheep farm is lucky to break even with that sub included. If sub disappears, how many tenants could stand a loss of £26k for 3 years Potentially, before arguing like hell to get (maybe) a 10-20% rent reduction from their landlord, then another 3 years of losses before the next battle?
Or should we just throw them all out, along with the ancillary industries they support, in order to let the ‘efficient’ young guns in to harvest what fertility & infrastructure they’ve left behind?
Our message is very much along those lines but as an internationalist organisation I doubt very much you’d get FoE to fully endorse it.
And I still think you rather overestimate my importance.
The Real Food Campaign is hardly known to most people so the influence is not great to the wider population. Channel 4 and the BBC are currently very biased against red meat but I don 't see them showing many programmes to support it. I am sure there are some out there.
98% of people are not vegan so we do not need to convince them. The reason we whinge to Ofcom is to prevent the current meat-eaters being influenced by poor evidence or horror stories
I know it's Off Topic but at every step I just see the towering chasm between Monbiot and Nigel Owens and what their respective key drivers areSeems our Welsh referee farmer has set Twitter alight

You really don’t have a clue have do you. The world is in trouble because of stupid comments like this and not because of farming. The farmers have protected the countryside and wildlife for generations. You want to save the planet start addressing the real issues

Alternatively, you could watch the programme and form your opinions when you know what it is you're commenting about.

And u could also do the same. Non biased fair reporting wd help. Not like the recent programmes on meat & agriculture which was heavily based on south America & USA and not on the sustainable farming of Wales and Uk. We all have a part to play but at least let’s be honest & fair
