ALL GO VEGGIE? I was watching the BBC's "Countryfile" programme just now and was surprised to see an item which put forward the bizarre idea that we must all become vegetarians in the UK if we want to have national food security. As it happens, I am a vegan myself - but that is purely a personal choice for health reasons and I would not seek to impose my dietary regime on anyone else. In summary I may not eat meat but I will defend to the death your right to eat it! But this kind of insidious propagandising on Countryfile shows that the BBC cannot be trusted to provide balance on any topic. I'm afraid Countryfile is just one more arm of the BBC pushing eco-wackery in the guise of rural and scientific matters.
