[QUOTE="Red Fred, post: 7915062, member: 189"] Reading about the worm turning and the lacklustre defence of our industry offered by our representatives, I suddenly thought that what we need is an overwhelming list of all the positive and obvious benefits that traditional farming brings to the British Isles. It would then give a handy ready defence to the sort of carp that keeps appearing on Facebook threads and it could also be used as a humorous response that we could paste and run when up against it. Everyone knows the Monty Python sketch about the benefits the evil Romans brought to Judea, such as medicine, sanitation, etc, etc, so how about a list in similar vein entitled "What did the rumens ever do for us?" Here's some random thoughts for starters: Decent nutrition Conservation Hay meadows Diverse flora and fauna Rural communities Tourism The British landscape Mediaeval churches Natural fibres Low food miles Carbon sequestration Soil Fertility Rare breed preservation... Can brains mightier than mine add to it, hopefully with a bit of a knowing smile, to put down people like the vegan idiot who posted "What justification is there for eating meat?" [/QUOTE]
