Lord Stern is a: Pork sword? Mutton Machete? Beef bayonet?
Stop eating meat? How about kissing my arse?
If we weren't supposed to eat meat we wouldn't be fitted with pointy teeth, and it wouldn't taste so good. It's like saying "stop driving cars", you can see the good points involved, but it is totally impracticable. There are ten million cows in the UK, and five million of those are dairy cows. If we were to stop eating "beef cows", we would need more dairy cows to supplement our diets. Granted not as many, but probably about seven million in total . Then there is the human cost (which never seems to matter with these bright ideas) of getting rid of beef cows. The farmers lose their livelihoods, the people working for the farmers lose their jobs, the feed growers and suppliers go out of business, and so do the butchers and abattoirs.
The same goes for the thirty five million sheep and the four and a half million pigs. How many people are employed directly or indirectly in the raising and processing of these animals? I'm sure money-bags Stern isn't too bothered about the human cost. Of course this is the same Lord Stern who told us that CO2 was going to kill the planet - shortly before he set up the world’s first independent carbon credit ratings service - with a market value of about €1 trillion by 2020. No conflict of interest at all there then? - nothing to see here - move along.
Lord Stern can have my Big Mac when he takes it from my cold dead hands.

Meanwhile if we don't eat these animals they'll continue to breed uncontrolled and emit yet more nasty greenhouse gasses... unless all these green veggie zealots are suggesting a mass cull and burning.
Settled science shown in all its endless contradiction and crass stupidity. (bit like raping the rainforests and killing those animals in the name of bio fuels)

Up to 20,000 delegates from 192 countries are due to attend the UN conference in the Danish capital...
No comment necessary.

I just hope they have a Blizzard in Copenhagen while all the piggies are there.
But. . . but. . . wasn't some other envirowonk saying just the other day that we should have pets we could eat?
Well, perhaps he's right. Maybe we should all Eat Our Greens.

He's obviously forgotten about the amount of methane produced by the human body from eating brussel sprouts at christmas time ;-)
Bet our farmers love him.
Still not like theres a global recession on that our governments making a mess of dealing with.
oh wait...
How about kissing my arse?
Er ... steady on, Steve.
You didn't mean P.Rick, did you?
One thing that has always puzzled me about vegefascists... why do they need to buy & eat plants shaped and presented like meat products? I mean, I don't need my steak to look like a carrot to get the old juices flowing!
"I don't need my steak to look like a carrot to get the old juices flowing!"
Meanwhile if anyone needs their politicians (elected or otherwise) to act like rather splendid parts (pick any one of three) of the female anatomy then bingo.
The animals would never have been born were it not for our apetite for their flesh. Who is going to keep millions of them as pets?
I sometimes wonder what kind of world we would have if only the enviros could throw a switch and get their Utopia by doing so.
We'd have no transport, no food, no light, no heat, about 90% unemployment. Yeah yeah, they want us all to be like the Amish.
Stern, Miliband(s), Brown et al really don't get it - my sense is that the public's patience with this sort of arrogant lunacy is wearing very thin.

Just to enlarge on your 'dairy herd' point - to produce milk, cows need to calve each year.
On average, half those calves will be male, and, of course, very tasty......
