Balanced diets: The way we eat threatens us all unless we change

I wouldn't often say this, but a farmers’ representative stopped me in my tracks the other night. He was on the 9 o’clock news on RTÉ, and this is what he said, as far as I can recall: “We have to control what we’re doing,” he said. “We can’t continue to increase our emissions the way they’ve been increasing this last number of years.

One thing I know: I’ve never seen grass growing at Christmas before in my life. So anybody who tries to tell me that climate change isn’t real, I don’t believe them. It’s happening.”
