Ooh I wonder what they’d make of me; I’m a pescetarian, but only because I don’t like the taste of meat. I don’t give a crap about the animals.

But hurrah for the sensible comments for once! I love it when their stories backfire on them.

I’m wondering how much the researchers took into account the tendency to feed UK cattle with foreign based soya feed? Would like to read the report and find out but I’ll be damned if I can find a link to it anywhere, WWF and Crabfield Uni sites are silent on it, they don’t even have copies of the press releases that presumably went out. Can anyone help with a link

This was discussed on the BBC tv news this morning – but the autocuties made a total bodge of it. Where, apart from the blogosphere and Ben Goldacre, do we get any sensible discussion of issues nowadays?

Just when they publish something I actually *want* to believe, someone comes along with the truth… tsk, tsk. At least the thing about Ayn Rand being a vampire turned out to be true.
