Oh Noes: Meat and Dairy are Killing Us...AND THE PLANET!!!

To fight climate change and tackle the growing crisis of diet-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, British consumers must cut down on meat and dairy produce, reduce their intake of processed foods and curb waste.

These are the three priorities identified in a report by the government's independent advisory body on sustainability, the Sustainable Development Commission (SDC), which calls for radical changes in patterns of consumption.

The report – which will dismay many in the livestock and processed food industries – will feed into all government departments and procurement agencies. Well-placed sources say it has created tension between Whitehall departments and advisers over its potential impact.

Who's up for a cheeseburger?

BTW - I hear Hitler was a vegetarian and big on population control.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

Did a quick drive by at Burger King this afternoon.  Double Cheeseburgers for a buck.

Sorry, if people aren't going to watch what they eat for the sake of their own health, they're definitely not going to because "zzomg ocean gonna rise like 35 feet next month!"  Better make a law or something.   :whatever:
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.   ~Robert A. Heinlein

...let the cannibal who snarls that the freedom of man's mind was needed to create an industrial civilization, but is not needed to maintain it, be given an arrowhead and bearskin, not a university chair of economics.
