[QUOTE="delilah, post: 7658018, member: 76758"] I know there is a food strategy thread, but I am so hacked off i'm starting another one. The National Food Strategy had two bodies advising Mr Dimbleby. [URL]https://www.nationalfoodstrategy.org/advisory-panel-2021/[/URL] [URL]https://www.nationalfoodstrategy.org/fdsc-2021/[/URL] There is one person - only one - who had a seat on both bodies. Quite right to: without farmers there is no food to write a strategy about. What I want to know, is how the hell did that person allow this report to see the light of day ? A report that says meat consumption needs to fall by 30%. A report that blames livestock above all else for the destruction of the natural environment. Not food transportation, not refrigeration, not supermarkets burning electricity 24/7, not the mountain of packaging waste. Livestock. A report that recommends cows be kept in sheds with methane collection helmets, so that they look like something out of Doctor Who. Again, how can this representative of our industry, with a unique position of being able to influence the two panels advising Mr Dimbleby, allow this to happen ? Angry doesn't come close to it.
