Talking to McDonalds, and your question about what we Farmers would like to say to the McDonlands people.
How about,
'Thankyou sirs, the British Farming fraternity are most grateful that your organisation is buying British Beef and British pork,
No moaning,no carping on about how bad Farming is, just a big THANKYOU !
ps. If the McDonalds people you are meeting have any influence with their other excellent food business, i.e. 'Pret a Manger', please ask them to supply ordinary milk in addition to organic milk for more discerning customers, like me, who will not drink organic milk. When I asked at their Leeds branch for normal milk in my coffee the staff were shocked and a food fascist stood behind me attacked me verbally me for asking for such a thing as though I was mentally insane. I, of course, soon put her and her silly friends right about the real issues surrounding organic production and why I would not consider consuming such produce. They and the rest of the mainly middleclass ladies were quite shocked as I think as no one had ever explained the case for consuming normally produced ,first class British produce.
