Flood warning for Cork

[CharlieManson]

Red meat consumption needs to fall, not rise.

60% of Irish land is given over to grazing for cattle, that's a bonkers statistic.

Can you go spout this bollocks in one of the many threads devoted to it and stop spamming the flood thread

Red meat consumption is already falling.

Our climate and land is more suitable for dairy farming and farmers will only plant when there is a market and decent price for their crops.

We also have huge successful global brands from butter to baby formula as a result and we produce much more food than we can eat anyway and import cheaply what we need from Spain and the Netherlands etc.

Irish people are also eating much more pasta,salads, cous-cous etc rather than the meat + 2 veg dinners of old.

Just as an aside, Ireland has the lowest incidence of lactose intolerance in the world.
That's because we've been drinking milk here since the first farmers arrived. Cows have always been an integral part of our society.

Correct.

The Brits found out that rceently when trying to find new markets for their cheese in Japan.

The idea that farmers will risk switching to planting crops of carrots or cabbage in huge numbers for small money is just fanciful.

Where are our fruit and veg produced?

In the European Union (EU), over 2.8 million hectares were given over to the production of fruit and berries and a further 2.1 million hectares to the production of vegetables. Spain was the leading EU Member State in terms of production area of fruit in 2016, with 942 000 hectares (or 33.0% of...

That's just an infodemic m8.

 

[Roxetten]

Excessive consumption of red meat has been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, processed red meat, such as pork, has been linked to an increased risk of cancer.

People need healthy and nutritious meat alternatives.

Don't be fooled by the shills on here regurgitating the lies of the agri lobby. More cows means more slurry polluting our waterways.
