Re: Why do Farmers get massive benefits?

If people cared about themselves more they would eat better food and there would be more demand for fruit and veg instead of processed food. A field that grows vegetables produces 10 times the protein of a field used for beef cattle. Of the plant protein used to raise beef cattle only a tenth of it is used. If this plant protein was used to feed humans there'd be no starvation.

OK, you may argue forever about the choices, variations, economy and whatever, but where there's a will there's a way and if the EU wanted to do something that benefitted the average person, they could do it.
