There is enough food for everyone,says Chrissie Hynde – if everyone takes only their honest share and stops eating animals. Others propose improving farming production methods, tackling population growth and taxing meatAlthough I strongly agree with and appreciate George Monbiot’s efforts to shed light on the destructive nature of industrialised farming and its effects on animals and environment (We can’t disappear on eating like this, and 11 December),I do not see the wisdom of tarring the entire farming community with the same brush.
Small family farms, where the profits are just enough to sustain the running of the farm, or actually replenish the environment and provide for local communities. A non-slaughter farm is humane,realistic and favourable all around. We need farmers.
