Now then I wish to comment on the desire to stop us all eating Bacon. Why is it that after years of pratling around with regulations on what you can use to cure the butty filling of choice now they tell us it is going to give us cancer. Where will it all end? Perhaps the answer lies in last nights countryfile. As we know pigs and cows are big eaters themselves but they give off huge quantities of methane gas which in turn may be a serious participant in both climate change and air quality, so were they to be resigned to the scrap heap leaving just a few representitives in rare breed parks you could kill two or even three birds with one stone. It would of course require us humans to change our diet, Last night we were introduced to an improved strain of broccoli not only will this provide important nutrition it will also reduce cholesterol, with selected pulses and lentils to give a varied menu we could all live healthier lives. More studies are needed to assess the amount of Gas humans would emit were this diet to become compulsory but with technical advance in gas capture we could all become net beneficiaries from the sale of this valuable commodity. Specialists who provide high quality product would become National fartisans whilst poor producers would earn the title Bags of wind.
