Lager boys?
Not necessarily. Transport by ship in vast tonnage may be more efficient per kg of produce than a truck trip from Cornwall to Falkirk. Transport is not the major issue.Carbon footprint of imported veg would be high too?
Meat could be off farm close by also?Not necessarily. Transport by ship in vast tonnage may be more efficient per kg of produce than a truck trip from Cornwall to Falkirk. Transport is not the major issue.
Yes it could be. However the distance does not necessarily determine its carbon footprint if that is the measure of morality or efficiency or religion used to compare such things. It is however at least as honest a measure for propaganda purposes as the vocal opposition are using.Meat could be off farm close by also?
Well the veg grown and imported from abroad could have chemicals applied from Australia or Chinia or America etc etc so the true calculations to growing something and its true carbon foot prints are variable and debatable.Yes it could be.

The late great Hans Rosling makes my reasoning perfectly simple to understand.
Except the thought police decimated diesel cars even though non urban high mileage vehicles are probably still best for the planet as small dieselsThe thing is our population is growing. Its grown 5% in the last seven years. Only 2% of the UK are vegan. So there is no reason for meat sales to be effected by this over the past 10 years. Most people like meat.
The worlds population goes up by 3 a second, even if every new person in the world born went vegan, its wouldn't effect meat sales significantly for quite a while. And if only 10% of those born become vegan, it definitely won't effect much. And it really doesn't matter. Because not eating meat really doesn't effect your carbon footprint that much, especially in the UK. Although in South America that statement probably isn't as true.

Veganism is just virtue signalling. It's the opposite of being in fight club.
The first rule of being a vegan is tell everyone,
The second rule is tell everyone.....
To every argument there is a counter argument. Maltheus back in the 18th century had his own ideas and but for fossil fuels he would be proved right....and still may be. It is certainly happening in countries like India.
Malthusianism - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
"The Malthusian trap or population trap is a condition whereby excess population would stop growing due to shortage of food supply leading to starvation. It is named for Thomas Robert Malthus, who suggested that while technological advances could increase a society's supply of resources, such as food, and thereby improve the standard of living, the resource abundance would enable population growth, which would eventually bring the per capita supply of resources back to its original level".
You can't seriously compare 18thC predictions with serious scientific calculations from one of the world's foremost and respected statisticians of modern times.
What's an ICE powered car?The War on Meat has begun.
It started on ICE powered cars a few years back and it ain't going too well for the powers that be.
If that uni wants to reduce or eliminate their Carbon footprint just ban Foreign students and their air miles getting there???

The thought police are at it again on handsfree phones. If the police and fire service can drive responding and use handsfree, then a good ordinary driver is certainly safe. The trouble is someone will have ticked a box to say speed and a phone were involved with an RTC and then it must be those factors that are automatically at fault
Goldsmiths College decision is a massive watershed. Now it will be seen as PC to stop beef .
World’s gone mad
What's an ICE powered car?
And it's very flawed research tooThe hands free issue is hardly new, I recall reading about a Swedish (Nordic anyway) study that noted it was not the physical act of holding the phone but the distraction of the conversation that caused accidents. The effect tended to last for several minutes after the call had finished. This was probably back in the late nineties.
