It would unfortunate to call this mess a bandwagon but there is a point to be made. In Britain we have had a series of livestock scandals including Bovine Mad Cow disease, periodic Foot and Mouth epidemics, swine vesicular, blue tongue disease etc. The latest news is that nobody knows whether contaminated Irish pork has been included in British processed meat products or not, because the system has clearly failed yet again to safeguard the provenance of our meat. Promoting locally reared animals and preferably organic veg rather than anything imported is a worthy cause which I support, but there's nothing particularly promotable about British food per se. The problem with contaminated feedstuffs in Ireland could just have easily happened in Britain, as for example with the bird flu outbreak at Bernard Matthews turkey factory last year. Hello Chris.
