Just as McDonalds stop selling the Double Quarter pounder with cheese - damn it!

Just a pity the BBC didn't see fit to quote it on their news bulletins every five minutes throughout the day

All, we need then is to remain ...and the world will be back on track, even though its costing me a packet atm

It was third story on Radio 2 this morning to be fair.

Is it too much to hope we may be getting a bit more balance in the future?

 

[Werzle]

Good news story for once but it hasnt been given the publicity it should have.

 

[jondear]

Talking about it on Jeremy wine now .Got the usual vegans on saying it's all lies! Discrediting the report!

 

[Raider112]

Just need to blow a hole in the obsession of having climate change and a vegan diet grouped together and it's job done.

I think it's something we all knew,unfortunately the anti meat propaganda machine has been in top gear for a few years and we couldn't get a word in.I hope the next bit of good news will be that red meat is a solution to helping climate change and finally the vegan argument will be torn to shreds.Maybe the tide is turning ???

Even the BBC are reporting it (through gritted teeth I suspect !)

All we need now is for the media to admit cow farts are not an issue as the gases are part of a closed ecological loop.

But that would be too easy!

Yeah, it was mentioned in the headlines on BBC 1 at one o'clock. Didn't see the report as I was on my way out, but at least it got on

I wouldn't get too excited. The healthy/not healthy debate is a distant second to good/bad for the planet. That battle has barely started.

 

[Gong Farmer]

There'll be a counter research report within weeks, always is. Then another counter research, etc ad infinitum.

Wasn't that good anyway. I had one and was disappointed.

 

[SilliamWhale]

Everything in moderation. Remember most researchers do reports to get money for reports. They have to come up with something (usually climate change) to get the money to do the report.

Saw this earlier. Was reported over here that "a group of high profile scientists in America, took took unusual step to try and have publishing of the study blocked"

Says it all....

Don't forget for 30(?) years people were told eating butter was on par with playing Russian roulette until it was shown to be very healthy.

 

[Av Gorritt]

Trouble is that the damage has already been done , and it will be very difficult indeed to undo it .

Jeremy Vine was talking about his delicious slow cooked lamb shoulder he had on Sunday on his show the day before so I'm voting the vegan brigade.
