A tough job for a vegetarian
Gedge :-) Started conversation Jul 24, 2000
I see that Christine Gwyther has finally got the push under pressure from the Welsh farmers for daring to be a Vegetarian agriculutre secretary. Altough her job must have been tough on her, the farmers never really gave her a chance, all they wanted was somebody to endorse their meat trade.

Forsooth and verily I may say that I myself find full agreement with the premise expressed as does my esteemed colleague technoyokel.
Noone says that to be the person for health you have to be a doctor.
Why do you have to be an unevolved carnivore to represent Welsh agriculture?
BTW we build dry stone walls for farmers to keep sheep and cows in in Wales but we are Vegetarians / have vegan tendancies.

I just saw this on newsnight, and hopefully will write a bit about it for the HVS journal/'news column' tomorrow. Any contributions always welcome.

You did more than your share of work today Pegasus, so I did it for you. See the link (under News) to the Beeb's article about it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention Gedge. It is disappointing but at least it gives us something to link to!
