Planning the Christmas lunch yet? If you are vegan you’ve doubtless got tofu in there somewhere, perhaps served up with a sauce made piquant with a tablespoon of smugness. After all, going “plant-based” will save the planet from climate change, whereas we meat-eating ignorati are murdering you, and nature, and the air we breathe. Britain’s very own Climate Tsar, Alok Sharma, when asked on BBC Newscast recently about his family’s personal contribution to fighting global warming, flailed around before playing the get-out-of-jail-free, no-meat card.

Is it not curious how carnivorism is subject to endless negative news and analysis, whereas the same rules do not apply to vegan food? As a keeper of livestock in sustainable, ethical, regenerative farming systems, may I say I find it hypocritical to be lectured by those who fly on polluting jets to Egypt, Mexico, Peru and other places I will never see? Has the COP jamboree not discovered Zoom yet? So, for once, let us turn the dinner tables, put vegan food under the knife and fork, and examine its impact on the environment. Where better to start than with tofu?

An ancient, soya-based ingredient in Asian cuisine, tofu came to the West with stoned returning hippies, and was an obscure item in Whole Food shops until the early 21st century, when it started to appear on the shelves of every middle-class supermarket as the meat-free, climate-healing superfood. Suella Braverman’s recent rant about “Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati” was not without its truth; tofu is as much a right-on political choice as a potential ingredient in tonight’s family dinner.

So, your "ethical" response to other few that may attack your personal choices is to attack many others for their personal choices?

I love & eat tofu…

I engage in truly sustainable, ethical and regenerative farming (which requires more than just recycled animal manure, especially given the fact that most processed farm animal feeds contain synthetic antibiotics, which are broad spectrum in nature, and which continue to kill massive numbers of even "beneficial" microbes long after being expelled from the animal, i.e. in their manure, resulting in extensive environmental damage)….

AND I NEVER CRITICIZE CARNIVORES FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL CHOICES.

LIFE IS ABOUT BALANCE.

TOO MUCH OF ANY ONE THING IS ALMOST ALWAYS DANGEROUS.

FACT:

THE WORLD NOW PRODUCES OVER 3 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF MEAT IT PRODUCED JUST 50 YEARS AGO.

AGAINST A POPULATION THAT HAS DOUBLED (2X).

THUS THERE IS AN INCREASING IMBALANCE.

AND MORE DIVERGENCE FROM THE "NORM"/CONFORMITY ISN'T NECESSARILY A CALL FOR ABSOLUTE ABOLITION NOR CHANGE FROM CARNIVOROUS DIETS.

YOU, JOHN LEWIS-STEMPEL, ARE AS DANGEROUS AS THOSE YOU CRITICIZE.

YOU ARE AS BIG A HYPOCRITE AS ARE THEY.

YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE LARGEST MEGA-CORPORATIONS, AND THE BIG ASSET MANAGEMENT FIRMS THAT OWN THEM (like JP Morgan, Fidelity, Dimensional Fund, et al), VIA YOUR WORK & SUPPORT FOR REACH PLC, VIA YOUR WORK FOR THE DAILY EXPRESS, SHOULD BE ONE OF YOUR MAIN CONCERNS.

JUDGE THYSELF FIRST, MUTHAFUCKA!

YOU PROCLAIM BELIEF IN & ADHERENCE TO "sustainable, ethical, regenerative farming systems" AND YET YOUR SUPPORT FOR THOSE MEGA-CORPS THAT WORK TO DESTROY TRULY "sustainable, ethical, regenerative farming systems" IS TESTAMENT TO YOUR OWN MASSIVE IGNORANCE & FAILURES.
