According to the document the change would need to be done "gently"
because of a "risk of alienating the public." Farm animals are blamed
for producing huge amounts of the greenhouse gases methane and carbon
dioxide. The leaked email was sent to Viva and goes onto say "The
potential benefit of a vegan diet in terms of climate impact could be
very significant."



"There is a growing awareness that our diet directly affects the world
around us - and that vegetarians and vegans contribute far less to the
destruction of the environment."

They've got it wrong again. All that needs to be done is to milk the cows
in the Gas Works.

As for the vegans, what about the carbon footprint when some of their
foodstuffs come from half-way across the world.
Think again, Jim.
