“Who The HELL Do You Think You Are?” | Julia Hartley-Brewer’s FURIOUS Clash With Vegan Campaigner

Britons are eating less meat than at any point since the 1970s as the cost of living crisis and the rise of veganism and vegetarianism lowers demand.
Consumption at home fell 12.5 per cent to an average of 854g a week in the year to March 2022, down from 976g the previous year and 949g in the year before the pandemic, according to new figures.
TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with animal rights campaigner Nathan McGovern over plant-based diets.
She rants: “The majority of people in this country eat meat. Who the hell do you think you are?”
Nathan counters: “It’s just happening Julia, you have to deal with it!”

When I had a major surgery, I had a vital organ removed, I was told I NEEDED to eat meat. As much as possible so I could heal better and faster. They said that the protein was imperative to recover. It was the worst surgical experience I've ever had. I feel the need to let people know what I was told by my surgeon and the nursing staff and the nurses that came to my home for after care. Meat might save your life. Thank you cows, you not only fed me but you helped to heal me. I'm thankful for our animals and for their role on this planet. I bet this guy is all for womens choice for abortion!! Make THAT make sense.

That’ll be why we have the highest levels of inflammatory diseases such as diabetes and obesity since the 1970’s. There is a direct correlation between all these health problems and the ultra high processed foods we consume now including plant based products. It’s absolutely crazy that we are going down this route. I guarantee that if we go down this route we will see an increase of inflammatory issues and autoimmune problems. There is plenty of science out there now to show this.

If you have it with lots of butter and/or good oil (i.e. NOT seed oil, but olive oil or avocado oil or another good oil), then you won't be hungry for about a day after that, as the fat satiates. 👍🏻

Fishing out the sea is much worse and cruel than farming.

[@akula9713]

@@MrDenzal27 Although I love a nice bit of cod or Salmon, I have to agree, but not for the same reasons. Back in the day, British fisherman used nets where the whole size of the net was such that the small fish, prawns and crabs got through. Only the larger fish got caught. When we joined the EEC, we opened up our fishing grounds to the French and Spanish boats whose net hole sizes were much smaller. Everything got caught! And with the stupid quotas, so much fish was thrown back, dead. The whole eco system is destroyed. Not to mention the Korean or Chinese boats. The Dutch used two super trawlers with a monstrous large net trawled between them. How there are any fish left in the North Sea is beyond me. As a kid when I visited our local fish quay the fish were big, now the boxes with big fish are fewer and fewer. At least livestock farming is selective, and animals on the whole are well looked after.

The price and substandard meat are the two main reasons people are not eating it. I read recently that farmers had been ordered to cut the fat content in pork and had done so by 8%. I have no doubt this has also applied to beef because it tastes anything like beef used to taste.

When families and communities grow their own food and/or have local farms that supply local bakeries and butchers etc none of what they mention is a problem. Animals are treated with respect, Food is organic, the land is healthy, and supply perfectly balances with demand. All of the issues mentioned are caused by industrialized farming.
