«Those who argue that we need food security are fighting the last war - and the real victims are the desperately poor farmers in the developing world. Not only are they unable to sell their goods in our markets because our agriculture industry is protected by high tariffs, but their livelihoods are threatened when we dump mountains of artificially cheap crops on their doorstep.
No other industry is allowed to behave like this. If South Korea were to dump colour televisions on European markets at below production price, Brussels would have a cast-iron case for hitting it with sanctions under global trading rules. But anti-dumping rules only apply in manufactured goods - not entirely coincidence you might think when the powerful trading blocs that drive the agenda in the World Trade Organisation, Europe, the US and Japan, are the biggest subsidisers of agriculture.»

Then they have the cheek to advertise on UK TV lies about Red Meat being good for you when it isn't at all. Its not necessary for the human diet.

I suppose you wouldn't care that by the time you die most americans have over a kilo of rotten meat sitting in the digestive system. Red meat *is* linked to digestive system illness and cancer within the digestive system.
Red meat is bad for you outside of very small doses. Unlike salt which is a necessary part of your diet - red meat is entirely un-necessary.

Not for my body, no. It does far more good than harm for me.
Even if its 'lean' it still contains a lot of fat and exactly the kind of fat you want to avoid.
Maybe YOU want to avoid it. I don't.
