The secret plans to turn us all vegetarian
A leaked e-mail expresses sympathy for the environmental benefits of a mass switch to a vegan diet – a strict form of vegetarianism which bans milk, dairy products and fish.
The change would need to be done “gently” because of a “risk of alienating the public”, according to the document.
The extreme policy is being examined on the basis it could make a major contribution to slowing climate change.
Farm animals are blamed for producing huge amounts of the greenhouse gases methane and carbon dioxide.
However, the National Farmers’ Union has ridiculed the idea as “simplistic”.
The e-mail, sent to a vegetarian campaign group, comes from an official at the Environment Agency, a Government advisory body.
It states: “The potential benefit of a vegan diet in terms of climate impact could be very significant.”

Eu é que não fico nada surpreendido com isto. Ao tempo que eu digo que o objectivo dessa gente é obrigar todos os outros a serem vegan.

De qualquer forma, da sempre para deixar de comer carne animal para passar a comer carne humana. Porque eu nao virarei vegan nem vegetariana por nenhum decreto do mundo! Prefiro matar esses verdes imbecis e devora-los, um a um….
