  • James O'Brien discussed the obesity crisis today and how it is being blamed by the media for a sick note culture but in the middle of taking a call from a GP, James asked if she minded if he interrupted to make an apology to the farming community.
    I discussed James’s show here in this video • Are Farmers To Blame F...
    It is true that low standard, heavily processed foods cause obesity and health problems. It is why we need to ensure Britain has access to good quality and affordable British food.

      That is why liz is here - to get back the farmer subsidy that was lost after brexit. The farmers miscalculated and didn't see that the general decline to the economy due to brexit would hurt their personal subsidies. So, here's liz, cosplaying as an anti-brexiteer and really just a front for the new reality of wealty farmer lobbying (liz gets in the order of 100k per year farming subsidy for her inefficient and non-competitive operation) in order to maintain or increase that. Brexit is not her actual issue; her farming subsidy is. That's why her videos are full of so many obvious lies and empty handwaving import food quality. She's here to scaremonger. Her motivation is not ordinary britons, a better NHS, or anything of the sort. It's her subsidy and the subsidy of the farmers she is here to lobby for.

    In the 1990's I was working with a food processing company as they implemented a computer software business system. In one session we had a senior member of their management in the session and he was called out of the meeting to receive an urgent phone call. When he returned he said he was going to have to leave and return later as an urgent matter had come up. When he returned he explained that, that morning there had been a very significant change in the pound/dollar exchange rate and he had been called out by one of his supermarket buyers demanding that he resourced some of his meat products from the US as there would be a considerable saving for the supermarket when he did so. He was not given the option he had to do it. Of course that benefit was not passed on to the end consumer but kept as profit by the supermarket chain. He explained that the profit they made as a food processor was based almost entirely on how much water they could retain in the cooking of the meat.
    There needs to be an urgent investigation into how UK supermarkets operate because despite their claims of innocence they have been taking the British consumer and their suppliers for a ride for years. and it has to stop.

As a Brit living in Austria, here the farmers are held in high regard by politicians and the general public. ie. Here in the town I live in the local council has a shop just for farmers to sell any food that is not sent to the markets. There is a 4 week time when a farmer can turn his farm (in conjunction with other farmers)into a restaurant using their produce and ALL PROFIT IS NOT TAXED.

    The NFU did a voting intention survey before the referendum and nearly 60% of farmers said they intended to vote leave, so James is being kind to you. English farmers were far more likely to vote leave. I think there's a bit of embarrassed suspension of truth and reality in the farming community. Also, Pat Minford said quite openly that industry and farming would be impossible after Brexit so there shouldn't be any surprises here. He was the vote leave economist, after all. There is no bringing down trade barriers with the EU. Johnson's withdrawal agreement saw to that. The CU and FM will only come with an acceptance of the 4 freedoms and asking for anything else is 'cherry picking' as was explained to the leave campaign during the Brexit deal negotiations. Farmers were annoyed with the common agricultural policy and they've got this instead...

Lustig, I have come to realise that he is right, we are in a war with the food industry and the poorest in society are on the front line. But I also want to say that people can take more responsibility and control of their diet. I am vegetarian and constantly I am told how much more expensive it is to buy fresh veg, and consistently I prove everyone wrong (including my wife).
    With a little planning and preparation you can eat very well even on a budget. But I know my situation is not the same as everyones and understand the need for quick meals. But its possible to eat better.

    I’m a farmer & a remainer- seemed like an obvious thing to stay in the community for trade reasons, subsidy income etc.
    I know a number of farmer Brexiteers and I get the claiming back our sovereignty argument. Fair enough.
    Now, however, there’s little to be gained by persisting with squabbling over this issue.
    What matters is that we move forward with our new found freedoms and seek fresh opportunities such as they are.
    We need to hammer home to the public and government why the current industrialised financial food provision model is dangerous for our health & rein back the undue, overpowering and unbalanced economic power that large food & big Agriculture wield.
    We need to stop treating food as an industrialised commodity that allows profiteering by large corporations at the expense of human health.
    The Agricultural & Horticultural Development Board releases from time to time extremely effective marketing campaigns that promote healthy British food. At the same Government sponsored health campaigns should be increased. If more resources are poured into this stuff & consumers become better aware of healthier food choices, markets would develop that meet the need. Farmers markets are a good example and should be actively promoted by government

It’s a bogus argument that has no foundation on fact and what it shows is that those farmer Brexiters you know had bought into the decades of lies about what the EU is, and also have bought into the decades of delusions about the place of the UK in the world.
      To say that we must now pull together to ‘make it work’ is nonsensical. As Dr Richard North a leading pro Brexit trade expert (but only of a soft ‘Norway’ style Brexit), commented in his blog the day after Johnson’s EU-UK Trade & Cooperation Agreement was cheered to the rafters in the HoC, “Brexit will fail because you cannot legislate lies”.

The question is why are these methods banned and if the reason is valid why would farmers want to use them to harm their own countryside, other than for a financial reason. The other option is to campaign to stop imports that use methods banned here or if they are vital to us, increase their price via taxation, so food produced without such methods can compete. Damaging the county side doesn’t seem the most logical solution. Nitrate run off is causing lots of issues that’s being ignored and has been for years. The crazy situation exists where I was involved with the centre of three large fields adjacent to a river. This centre field was down for development and the other two remained for farming. We had to remove all traces of ammonia and nitrate running off into the adjacent river, at the cost of over £1 million, whilst the two adjacent fields could continue with their farming and associated nitrate run off.

Instead of the Brexiters pushing the UK to the cliff edge of destruction by triggering Article 50 as soon as humanly possible and a pushing for a ruinous "No Deal Brexit" there should have been a recognition that, between the people who cared enough to vote, there was a near parity of opinion; and so a second, confirmatory, referendum should have been called in order to find out what the public wanted to do next. What kind of relationship should the UK actually have with the EU.

If I had known 20-30 years ago what I know now, I would definitely have made different choices about what I ate. But I believed the hype & advertising of those decades, where we were told that the foods of the 1950/60's were considered bad for us from the 1970's onwards and that we had to start eating this "healthy" low fat packaged food stuffs, with added essential vitamins & minerals. What they didn't tell us was that the original base ingredients had so much stripped out of them during the manufacturing process, they had to add the vitamins & minerals back in!!! So whose fault is it really?

      Hmmmm you probably voted `leave´ too I expect. Everybody makes mistakes but we can`t blame others for what we do to our bodies. In the same wayyou can`t blame the EU for desicions your government made while you were members. But you did and now look where you are!

      Even back in the 70s, it was easy enough to distinguish fresh foods from processed foods & it was well known fresh foods were better. We have to start taking responsibility for our actions & not always look for someone else to blame.
