Run by lazy journalists. Trade press is just printing press releases
from various companies with a few guest articles from someone with a
vested interest in selling something.

Yes.


The press, including trade press, will only be interested in malpractice
when someone dies. The interest will only last for a few weeks, or until
the story falls off the front page of the daily mail.

As for trusting the British farming industry - how many products are
imported, minimally processed or packed, and then appear with a union
flag logo when they appear on the supermarket shelves?


Too many.

You should talk to Stewart Agnew, who is a farmer and the UKIP MEP for
- east Anglia I think.

All te new EU states have 'exemptions' to not destroy their farming till
they 'get up to speed' What that means is they don't comply. UK farmers
have to comply: They can't compete. NONE of the new nations CAN comply,
because if they did THEY couldn't compete either.

So cheap imported eggs are from force fed chickens in massively
overcrowded battery farms in Eastern Europe. And it seems burgers are
ground up old nags from Eastern Europe as well.

All exempted in the grounds of being unable to enter the EU and meet the
stringent regulations. Yet.

And the money is in faking the paperwork, so they do.

And if one burger is cheap horsemeat, the others, just like the banks,
have to pretend they don't know and put the same meat in, or lose market
share.
