Veganuary is starting soon

[willy]

So veganuary is around the corner and the bbc will be pushing any sort of plug regards how to save the planet by going vegan.
My question is. Do we have any credible data to to sling back at these cheap shots at meat? And will the NFU be ready to fight back publicly on miss information?

let’s be prepared to put our side across in a well thought out and easy to distribute fashion on social media and the likes.

I shouldn’t worry too much this year, with Brexit they may run out of food or money.

Chris packam is pushing his new Vegan book, he always gets disproportionate air time, even if nuclear war had broken out, he would probably be the number one news item for the beeb!

Just turn your TV off and you'll hear little about it!

The latest study showing that vegans are 43% more likely to suffer from broken bones than meat eaters will maybe help to swing the argument. Maybe somebody more tech savvy than me could provide a link.

Just imagine what the BBC’s headlines would have been if that study had come out against meat . Not a cheep from them on this.

Climate is the biggie at the moment. We need hard facts that prove vegan isn’t the right way. Or maybe they are right

The climate change article was on BBC news last night . Reducing flying was mentioned but so was reducing red meat consumption .!To be continued……!

No, it’s because they get punched more often!

The only reason that the figures are coming out in favour of cutting meat eating is because we are not allowed to offset the carbon sequestrated in the production of that meat. Having done 3 carbon audits now , i am convinced that if we were working on a level playing field ie.allowed to offset. My meat production would be carbon negative.

Animal protein is essential to prevent mental disability. There, I think I’ve said it in the current PC way.

It really is self proving as well, because people that don’t eat any become vegans

Why is that? I dont really understand.

In the carbon audit it is the carbon emissions from your farm that are measured. The carbon that is sequestrated or taken in and stored by the grassland and trees on your farm Is not measured so it is a completely one sided balance sheet.

Oh right, that makes no sense. Is that because they don't know how to measure it?

They seem to know fine how well peat bogs and new plantations of trees sequester tho, very strange
