    vegetarian

    Growth hormones as far as Im aware are banned in the eu. antibiotics are expensive and so less is more the MCds coment was an illustration of our major retailers double standadrs which MAY (or may not) also be the case with foreign organic standards

    Prevention of disease is through use of vaccines? and what exactly is industrial farming? arent organic animals kept in large herds and confined for periods of the year? The comment about mcdonalds reffered to standard beef, and was in reference to the double standards exhibited by our maor...

    vegetarian

    Why is this cruel? It simply replaces natural mating with artificial? Safer than having bulls around. Also it doesnt "induce lactation" it brings on lactation in the same way a natural mating would. Cows are programmed to have a calf every spring to match grass growth. Im genuinley...

    vegetarian

    IMHO this is only half the story.... Firstly a large proportion of organinc food consumed in the uk is imported = food miles= carbon. also this raises the question of are the "organic standards" as strict as they are in the UK in these other countries ? Im sure tesco will tell you everyone...

    Hypothetical question - Living off the land

    Dogwood, I cannot argue with you! This is where the biofuels argument becomes extremely tenuous, as I believe it has been proven that more oil goes in than the crop replaces at the other end. acres for food or fuel? But what do you do? Either cut population, or redirect remaining fossil...
