State of agriculture in the UK

For reasons of unblinking short-sighted dumb stupidity, the UK government continues to support science-based agri-business - and to do its best to kill off organic farming. The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) commissioned a group of researchers to collate the research of other people who had found that organic beef , for example, has few nutritional advantages over inorganic beef. If they can’t tell the difference between the two approaches shown above, the fault lies with their researchers and their taste buds. Future government report is expected to prove that haute couture clothing has no medical advantages over bargain basement clothing and expensive perfumes do no more for your sex appeal than cheap perfumes. Then we will have reports to establish that the differences in flying time London to New York, business class and economy class on the same plane are ’statistically insignificant’ and that Dyson vacuum cleaners are no better than Hoovers.

The DEFRA blockheads should remember how their friends in government wrecked the UK’s car producers: they poured in government money to support cheap, shoddy, rust-prone ‘volume’ car producers. In fact, the only hope for a country with expensive land and labour was to concentrate on low-volume high-quality cars.

"Organic beef does not have a massive nutritional advantage over non organic beef. Beef is a bad example, as the healthiest, most sustainable foods are fruit and vegetables. Beef production is responsible for massive slash and burning of Brazilian rainforests to grow the soya that is fed to cattle over the Winter. The difference between organic and non organic beef cannot be ascertained with taste buds. It is like saying that bottled water tastes better than tap water, when in most blind tastings, the opposite is proven.

The main advantage of organic farming is that it is sustainable. It does not rely on fertiliser and pesticides made from fossil fuel which will run out in the future.

How can your comment on the car industry be correct when Nissan and Toyota have some of their most productive factories in the UK, producing high volume quality cars?"
