Almost?!

'This is a reference to the Biblical story in chapter 14 of the Book of Judges in which Samson was travelling to the land of the Philistines in search of a wife. During the journey he killed a lion, and when he passed the same spot on his return he noticed that a swarm of bees had formed a comb of honey in the carcass. Samson later turned this into a riddle at a wedding: "Out of the eater came forth meat and out of the strong came forth sweetness"'

I do not like these silly posts about thank a farmer for this and that etc... yes it is very important to educate the public where their fav food comes from however, this is not the correct way to do it. As already pointed out.
Thank a builder for the warm kitchen
Thank a doctor for allowing you to even be here.
..... you don’t see the likes of Cadbury saying “ no Cadbury no Easter!” They use clever marketing to get point across and improve brand image. These posts do neither ....just my opinion but one I find more and more agreeing with.
Why don’t the NFU put out an advert with an amazing receipe including uk ingredients and use the psychology of sales rather than their current tactic. Create a “desire “ for British produce rather than a “need”. People pay more for things they desire than things they need!
because it would work.
to me a lot of farming groups, do not want farming to be susseful as they will be out of a job
