Countryside Alliance reject PETA's bizarre call for all vegan school menus in Scotland

Our Scottish Director, Jamie Stewart, has written for the Scotsman in response to a bizarre letter from extremist animal rights group, Peta. In her letter, Mimi Bekhechi demands that schools ban meat, force teachers to tell children that meat is wrong and to implement vegan only menus in schools within the Edinburgh area. This bonkers approach to addressing important matters relating to climate change is typical of an organisation that seeks to inflict its lifestyle preference on others, while providing limited evidence to back up their argument. Plant based only diets, void of animal products, have been linked to numerous illnesses including chronic fatigue syndrome and IBS. In his letter, Jamie stands up for British farmers and calls on schools to teach kids about the importance of a sustainable diet. Click here to read Jamie's letter.
