We&#039;re all going to be forced to adapt. Why can&#039;t farmers too? Why do they consider themselves so special and needing to be carried?
When your working life is fairly isolated and you aren&#039;t exposed to the everyday difficulties others face with transport, childcare, over-crowded living conditions, poor pay etc. you&#039;d tend to think your own problems were the worst. No-one suffers like you. Especially not those underserving people needing to access foodbanks. 

The reasons for farmers to change should be self-evident, if they were really so well-read and educated. They shouldn&#039;t need to be jollied along when people with fewer advantages just have to get on with it. 
So, force does work. They will either take up the challenge or they will go under and join the ranks of the hapless, helpless and hopeless themselves.]]></description>

Bit trite Bonnie.   We are omnivores and have thinking minds so unlike lions we might think it is wrong to eat ... dogs, cats, rats, pigs, cloven-hooved animals, people etc.  But we have a digestion made or suited to particular plants and animals - if you have always eaten rice and are starving wheat might finish your off.

There is a threat of a nasty bird flu virus that may require us to innoculate all our hens so we can keep on having their meat and eggs.   And there was a deadly potato famine in Ireland, but not just once, there had been a series of them but the Brit govt didn&#039;t want to think about that as a problem.   And you can put forward your plant based ideas, not thinking about the problems too.   It would certainly help to eat more plants but you have to eat a lot don&#039;t you, to provide all requirements?]]></description>

How about 5 years straight of drought interspersed with massive flash floods....because that is what climate change is going to bring their climate denying selves...

Of course their shortsighted greed over anything else now means it&#039;s
 now too late ...Can&#039;t say that they weren&#039;t warned...

Clogs to clogs in 5 generations and nobody else to blame!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sorry but 15% off $24 per kilo rump steak from a 5 year old lame dairy cow which is not fit for human consumption is not going to make an iota of difference to the well being of kiwis.
There&#039;s a number of issues here. One, the international market price for that choking hazard is no where near $24 per kilo. It is suitable only for hamburger in the US. Two, it doesn&#039;t matter how efficient NZ farmers of dairy, beef and sheep are, on a food production basis they are incredibly inefficient and polluting compared with alternative crops, and a luxury the world can no longer afford at current levels of production.
So, the dairy (especially) and beef and sheep (partially) need to go.
Which is exactly why the Regulatory Standards Bill is in the process of becoming law, because when those dairy farmers are forced to cease production, they want to be reimbursed for stopping the degradation of our aquifers and waterways and the lost water rights they stole from the nation.]]></description>
