As to carbon footprint, you're about as accurate as a shot by Bolasie. There is a carbon impact to grow and transport fruit and veg to the store, of course. However, to produce meat, you have to grow feed crops which are then bought by the livestock farmers and transported to their farms where it's fed to the animals, who are then slaughtered and processed by machinery. The resulting meat is then shipped to the store during which time it is required to be kept refrigerated. It's almost double the carbon footprint. Also, with veggies, once you've harvested your crop, the land left behind isn't a toxic dung heap. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

The EU has stricter hygiene regulations than the US. These apply to the welfare of the birds, cleanliness and hygiene of the abattoirs, decease control methods, shelf life, storage and selling of the meat. Chlorine rinsing helps manage and eradicate pathogens like salmonella and campylobacter which compensates for poor husbandry on farms and poor behaviour in the supply chain and extends the shelf life of the meat. We in the UK eat more of our own chickens but also import massively from Thailand and Brazil (through the EU) who have on the whole better standards than the UK for raising chickens-more room in cages and more time to grow. Liam Fox has it right- If the USA think we are worth trading with in terms of chicken up your hygiene standards save your chlorine wash for McDonalds & Wendys and lets do a deal!

Still in combat ready mode I see. You'll give yerself a hernia if yer not careful. It is a bit issue of the day, but one worthy of debate. Good news about the electric mini production. Maybe they have a heads up on tariff arrangements post brexit if they're getting parts from Europe / abroad. Or even better all parts could be manufactured in the UK. We'll wait and see.
