What re your opiniions on the Foerign Office refusing to support British native food industry?
Food which is produced and reared in the UK is ignored in favour of imported produce for official banquets and the Whitehall staff canteens.
Only 49% of the beef, lamb and pork served at the Foreign Office in 2006 was UK-reared, and only 40% of the fruit and vegetables served came from the UK. Britain has the largest variety of cheeses ANYWHERE (600+), but even this did not prevent the Foreign Office from importing 60% of its cheese.
The National Farmers’ Union has said they are “shocked” at the revelations, and said that the Government had no excuse for not using British suppliers for the majority of its produce.
What are your opinions? Should British organic, rare-breed and/or small-scale producer food food be showcased by the Foreign Office?
Is this a similar case to the Bernard Matthews scam profiteering with its imported poor quality, diseased turkey?
