[QUOTE="Macsky, post: 6936709, member: 44120"] This is all constructive, it’s good to see other’s viewpoints, and get the chance to get my own in order and test them on a slightly wider forum than the space between my ears ? I quite believe there are those who cheat the system, but you’ll find that with any system anywhere, it’s the nature of man. Until our produce is selling for a fair share of its true market value then subsidies will remain vital, and this is where this tangent is very relevant to the OP. Political will is exactly what’s needed to enable primary producers to claw back some more market share, breaking up the monopoly of meat processors and also the promotion of red meat in the diet. And I disagree with [USER=76758]@delilah[/USER] that we should do this mainly from an environmental point of view, as the bulk of that campaign is incredibly shallow and hypocritical. Rather it should be done on the grounds of health. That is the most powerful campaigning platform there is! Just look at how it has been used to promote innutritious, highly processed byproducts of industrial agriculture and turn them into staples and best sellers! There is no other food source on earth that is more nutritionally complete and nutrient-available than beef, this should be the basis for a solid campaign, and the environmental benefits of grass reared stock would just make folk feel all the better about it.
