Less meat and more veg

Gareth · Post by **Gareth** » Sun Dec 07, 08 7:10 pm

One of the things that has changed over the years is peoples attitude towards food waste and their blind willingness to throw perfectly good food away just because a best before date printed on the packing tells them to. We seem to have lost the ability to use our own common sense in assessing for ourselves whether food looks, smells or tastes useable. This issue is hugely compounded by retailers overstocking fresh foods and then dumping the excess because of ever more stringent food standards regulations. Inevitably we end up breeding animals and catching fish that never make it to the plate and that in itself is criminal. Cut out the waste and you'll make a difference, so if you're not sure you're going to eat it don't buy it.

Not being rude but could the fact that we farm more animals for food now, e.g. Bernard Mathews & Birdseye farms. You also have the explosion of fast food chains who purposely farm their own meat on a high scale as their meals are largely meat based?

Just a thought

The Nats wouldn't be the same without lumps of dead cow cooked on a disposable bbq & not forgetting breaky with the eggs that came from some death camp for chickens fried up with bacon.
