absolutely spot on.

I recall when all the right on chefs like Jamie Oliver were telling the public to buy organic free range meat and vegetables from farmers markets, delia smith spoke up for the poor. She said it’s nonsense it’s much better that industrial farming advances such that the cost comes down to such an extent that people can afford to give their family meat and vegetables each week.

not everyone can afford to buy their fruit vegetables and meat at local farmers markets or Borough market . Well snobby lefties can, whilst telling poor people who can’t afford it , that they must do so as well.

The meat at Aldi etc is produced to European standards and its good value so really why are we having this conversation and what have ‘snobby lefties’ got to do with it?

It’s like the ‘land of the perpetually offended’ in here at times
 
Is any of the debate in this thread improved by using pejorative terms like “loony leavers” or “snobby lefties”?

Can we not make our points without trying to wind up the other side in the process?

It's never going to move on bud, this fight about Brexit is a proxy war about ideologies and it's shifting over to the Indyref2 thread ;)

Of course it is.

What percentage of UK food on shelves is organic? 10%? 5%? 2%? I don't know the number but it's not big.

People buy their Lidl £2.35 chicken in droves, and not the £8.99 organic, high welfare bird. Most people talk the talk about animal welfare but in reality don't walk the walk. They go for the cheap option and the shitty animal welfare every time.

Absolutely and I fell into the trap a while back and got irate about it.

It wasn’t until I listened to food experts in the US who said “hang on a minute...” and explained that I took a more balanced view.
 
I don't believe that is true at all

Anti-Brexit people have been using 'chlorinated chicken' as some bogeyman for years

Oh, I am well aware, mate — it’s become a wedge in my family, with wind ups also travelling the speed of light via email. But we still have rules on here and mods still have to keep some semblance of peace to avoid needing to take action against inappropriate posts or locking the thread for a time to let things settle.

Ultimately, it’s the posters in the thread that decide whether it stays open for further discussion.

I know calling Jamie Oliver a “snobby lefty “ apparently is against the CoC but calling every politician and political commentator a **** for the last few years is ok.

It’s not against the CoC to call Jamie Oliver a “snobby lefty”, hence why your post is still up.

It is against the CoC to WUM, which is the preemptive point I was making to all on the thread.

I am trying to do everyone a favour and stop things from going the way of the 15,000th Brexit thread lock.
