John Humphrys is passionate about the state of British food, farming, fishing and agriculture. Here, he looks back to the days of organic farming in England when people shared and swapped food and considered the wildlife as well as the farmed animals, crops and fruits. He examines today's travesties: factory farming, pouring chemicals into the land, the scandal of the supermarket wars and cheap imported goods. He then turns to the future and asks: Can we save this ravaged earth and rebuild our community values? Most of all, can we reverse the damage to ourselves and our long-term health that may result from what we eat? John Humphrys' book requires the full attention of anyone who cares about themselves or the future.
Does anyone want me to put up Vegan cookery books that are on sale?
Looking at the food thread I'm the only non meat eater here but I thought I should ask. I'm an Ovo-lacto vegetarian, which means I like dairy and eggs.
I generally believe people's diet is non of my business as long as your not eating people or something that's aware (that excludes oysters) and alive at the time of consumption. I am however anti soy which is a big part-but not the sore backbone of veganism due to soy monocultures replacing the rainforest and wetlands causing devastating deforestation and loss of wildlife in vast parts of the world. Including South America where there's been lots of studies and protests in the past.
I just think if your trying to save the planet, sticking to your portion sizes which are smaller than we think, grow your own and eating locally is far better than food from far off nations. As a nation we have some of the best animal welfare laws on the planet, buying good quality British meat that you properly savour will help tremendously. Support the dairy farmer next door, not the almonds from far away. Preparing for a verbal hiding now.
