Where does my meat come from?

The Tories have launched a new initiative.

No doubt taking advantage of the Britain is for the British malaise crossing the country,they have unveiled an honest food campaign

We think this is dishonest. People have a right to know where their food comes from. Meat labelled 'British' should be born and bred in Britain, raised to our high welfare standards.

Guido alerted me to the new initiative and he isn't convinced.

Fair enough but it smacks of protectionism, what the wonks call a "non-tariff trade barrier". The benefits of free trade are that we get the cheaper goods and services from countries exploiting their comparative advantages.
