🗣 'It has become fashionable among certain bodies to promote an ideologically driven anti-meat-eating agenda.'

Equally, there is a growing consensus about the importance of eating more game meat too. Overgrazing by deer, for example, has been having a huge impact on other species, as well as the biodiversity of our environment due to the excessive browsing of vegetation, shooting shrubs and sapling trees. It is widely accepted that the deer population must be managed.

Rather than implementing sweeping bans on the dietary preferences of the vast bulk of the UK population, public bodies, including schools, should instead engage with their farming communities and pledge to supply locally produced goods. Doing so will demonstrate support for the custodians of our countryside and help support sustainable farming for the long term. Knowing where your food comes from and how it is produced is far more important than whether it is animal or vegetable.
