'Tis a mad world - meat burnt for electricity
« on: 10 August 2009, 13:43:03 »

So a farmer cuts down some forest in South America and plants a grain crop. He sells it and gets a good price from some English farmers who need grain feed for their beef herds.

The farmers sell the beef at rock bottom price barely covering their costs to a national supermarket chain (like Tesco) who package it and they put it on their shelves at a price that will make them a handsome profit.

 Sadly it fails to get sold before its sell by date so gets sent back to the distribution centre on a returning lorry. There it is amalgamated with other returned meat and wait for it sent to an incinerator where they proudly declare that it produced electricity rather than going to a landfill site.

Tis a mad world we have created.
