Nor me.
Should we turn our backs on evolution?
After all, we evolved as a species as omnivores.

When a Soil Association employee like Rob Percival comes out with such utter crap it makes me wonder why any livestock farmer would want to have anything to do with the Soil Association.

Is Eating Plants Wrong? - BBC Sounds
Plants can do much more than we might think. So is it wrong to eat them?

But S. A. is one of the bodies that licences food to be classified as "Organic"
Are you suggesting they are not 100% unbiased? That would be scandalous!

You’d think that by now the penny might be dropping that the biggest threat to mankind isn’t cows…

XR are sending a group to Ukraine to lay down in front of the Russian tanks. Won't move until Putin agrees to run them on old cooking oil.

Nothing new. In the 1960's they ("experts")were saying astronauts would just take a couple of "food pills" every day rather than eat in the usual manner.
Oddly enough, at about the same time they were worried about the oil running out by the 1980's. Forty years later they are worried about it not running out-but that's probably because 90% of the population perished from CJD before the turn of the Century. As least those that died of CJD were saved from planes dropping out of the sky and your toaster turning on you when the "Millenium bug" kicked in at 23.59.00 on 31st December 1999.
For those of you under 30, all the above (food pills, Millinium bug, oil running out, mass millions dying of CJD) were real predictions by real experts at the time.

Having had a quick look at SA certification fees i'm wondering who would want to pay them £97 for the "local Abattoir/Butcher certification service" when they're employing an overtly anti meat nutjob.
Usually from that cock, prof Neil Ferguson

I didn’t know that, I think he’s passed away now.
He was wildly wrong with his prediction of tens of thousands dying from NV CJD, if he was a non meat eater it does make you wonder if he let prejudice colour his judgement.
All water under the bridge now but if I made such monumental cock ups of judgment in my buisness it would cost me a lot of money at least and could break the buisness, these “experts “ seem to pop back up no matter how wrong they’ve been in the past.
