Seems the current liberal left Government, clearly being driven by the Prime Ministers piece installed in No 10 (Princess Nut Nut as DC referred to her) , is intent on turning this country into a third world basket case.

For one:
Target - Cut meat and dairy consumption by a fifth over the next decade

Impact - Someone who has meat for every three meals could only do this twice a week under the new plans.

Similarly, the average Briton would need to shave a fifth of the average milk consumption down to 16ml a day - or roughly three teaspoons.

Really?

Any chance of India or China reducing theirs or are they going to power ahead while we shot ourselves in the foot with impossible green targets?

And here is the rest:

Target - Cut meat and dairy consumption by a fifth over the next decade

Impact - Someone who has meat for every three meals could only do this twice a week under the new plans.

Similarly, the average Briton would need to shave a fifth of the average milk consumption down to 16ml a day - or roughly three teaspoons.

ymb//Someone who has meat for every three meals //
Who has meat for all three meals a day?
Just for example how would cutting down the amount of meat consumed by 1/5 turn the UK into a 'a third world basket case'?
We need to reduce overall intake of meat and dairy so its a good aim. Your not going to get ration books tho so nothing to see here
My wife and I drink 4 pints of milk every day between us and every main meal includes meat of some sort; I see no likelyhood of that changing.
Do they eat a lot of meat in India? I thought they were quite into vegetarian cuisine. Holy cow!
I am pretty much at that level now, so it seems reasonable. Other countries may see things differently but if we choose to go down a more environmental path others will follow. Just because my neighbours are irresponsible that doesn't meet I would follow them. In a world of waste I want a government that sees positive change as something achievable.
Do we have a link for this?
I would say cutting dairy and meat would be no bad thing because it appears to have turned some a bit rabid to say the least !
woofie, could only find a reference to the UN's proposals as in my link above.
I have cut down on meat (particularly red meat) as I have got older, not to save the planet, but because I think it’s better for me health wise. Would struggle to give it up altogether though. However, I will not be cutting back on dairy any day soon, as I am borderline osteoporosis (due to taking daily prednisolone), take medication for it and am encouraged to keep my intake of calcium up with, amongst other things, dairy products.
so a non story with the Mail screaming rubbish as usual....
what does this even mean? "Similarly, the average Briton would need to shave a fifth of the average milk consumption down to 16ml a day - or roughly three teaspoons."
With all the tea and coffee most people drink throughout the day I think we drink more than 5 teaspoons of milk a day, especially if we have cereal for breakfast.
A fifth isn't a huge amount. When I have steak I have a 12 ounce sirloin or ribeye, would it really kill me to have a 9 or 10 ounce steak? One less slice of pork with my roast dinner? 4 sausage instead of 5?

Anyway, more and more people are choosing to be vegetarian or vegan - I'll eat a vegan's share. Lucky me! My daughter and her family are vegans :D
//Someone who has meat for every three meals //

- Is probably heading for an early death and won’t get any benefit from cutting emissions.
- Is probably overweight and drives everywhere.
- Probably farts more methane than the cow it’s consumed.
So why do cows fart so much, Sunk? They are vegan. And gorillas fart a lot, too.
So does my vegan daughter.
Cutting dairy and particularly red meat is better for health. Im doing it myself now and dont see myself as a nutter, thank you very much.
^ More Sunken treasure ^ :-)
I also don't see how being rude about someone helps your cause
