Just heard about this on dig, basically they measured subsidies and put them against our corect daily nutritional intake, I appears to be very out of whack. Vegetable growers take note and also Ireland should take note, I like my beef, but veg might be handy too. Maybe if the veg growers got some of the subsidies that beef famers get, it could make a big difference in our diet, well maybe!
