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. Comments: 13 (unread) - Biased BBC Home
