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.

12,09, "Did you vote for this.?" " Yes we did ".

...Who is we? are you the spokesperson for the whole of the UK ?.
did you vote anyway Gulliver, if you did it wasn't surely for the Tories?
Does ANYBODY agree with EVERYTHING on a manifesto? I always vote for the candidate I agree with most which means I invariably appear to support a policy I actually disagree with; this was true of the last election when I voted Tory but doesn't mean I support ALL their policies. Mrs Sturgeon happily states that the Scots want independence because the majority voted SNP; I wonder if a referendum will prove her right.
no i didn't agree nor do agree with everything on the manifesto, i am not much by way of a supporter of wind farms, i know they are supposed to be renewable energies, but they are the ugliest and possibly damaging thing to set out to sea. we don't know yet what they do to our marine life.
// Who is we? are you the spokesperson for the whole of the UK ?. //

‘We’ are the 14 million who put their cross next to a Conservative candidate at the election, giving them a huge majority of 80 seats.
One of the policies put forward by the Tories was a commitment to drastically reduce the country’s emissions.
Now they have been elected they are exercising the power we have given them to enact their pledges.
Nobody has answered what the milk sentence means?
The Tories currently have a majority of 83 seats. Depending on who wins the Batley by-election it will be either 82 or 84.
Wouldn't like to bet who will the Batley by-election.Depends how much sentiment there is for Jo Cox's sister.The bookies have the Tories as favourite but not much in it.
13.27, And you think 14 million people share your opinion . Even Boris ain't that stupid.
//We need to reduce overall intake of meat and dairy…//

Why do we?

//Im doing it myself now and dont see myself as a nutter, thank you very much.//

Nor should you see yourself as such and nor should anybody else. It’s what you’ve chosen to do and it is no business of anybody else. I won’t be cutting my meat or dairy from the levels I currently enjoy and I don’t want to be accused of destroying the planet. That’s my choice and I don’t want to be told what to eat (or what not to eat) – especially by the current chatelaine in 10 Downing Street.

//…almond milk.//

Liquid produced from processing nuts is not milk, danny. Milk is the liquid produced by lactating mammals. Sorry to be picky but calling plant products “milk” is a particular abhorrence for me. It’s part of the great vegetarian/vegan deception.

//The UK has been very slow at adopting Zero Emission Vehicles (electric cars).//

Electric cars are not “zero emissions”. The emissions are simply created elsewhere, mainly in the manufacture of the vehicle. The only zero emission transport is no transport at all.

//I always vote for the candidate I agree with most…//

I always vote for the one I disagree with least. In my case I voted for the party I believed was more likely to ensure a successful Brexit. Political parties usually treat their manifestos as list of policies to be abandoned as soon as they secure power. Hopefully some of these lunatic notions will go that way.
NJ, You, picky, perish the thought.
//Almond milk and other plant-based beverages function as milks. They go well with cereal, can be consumed by themselves, and provide nutrition. In fact, almond milk has been used widely as an animal milk substitute since the middle ages//
3 teaspoons of milk per day is neither use to man nor beast and would inevitably lead to wastage on a grand scale.
but I still don't understand the sentence? is 15 ml one fifth of the average consumption? or is that the amount we have to lower our consumption by regardless of what it is?
Just as an aside and for information purposes it takes 17 litres of water to produce 1 litre of almond milk

I recently switched from almond to oat as that is deemed the easiest and least carbon-efficient to produce and I have to say I like the taste of it on cereal
Sticky, it it ok on porridge and all bran?

"I don’t want to be accused of destroying the planet. "

you are not per se... mass industrial farming is... along with many other large-scale and ecologically unsustainable industries... It isn't about you personally.
I like oat milk personally...
PP Do you think she might be a bit of a noisette-valise
//Almond milk and other plant-based beverages function as milks.//

Indeed they do, danny. But they are not milk and should be called something else – in common with many vegetarian and vegan foods.

//you are not per se... mass industrial farming is…//

No it’s not. Unsustainable and excessive human population growth is. It is the root cause of virtually all the sustainability problems the world faces.

I've just noticed the recommended daily dose of milk (16ml). This means it would take an individual five weeks to get through a pint - quite frankly ludicrous.
