Are we bastards for giving our farmers such big subsideys? Ireland and france are unwilling to give up the large subsideys we pay to our farmers, and countrys in Southern America and Africa are saying we're putting them out of business.
They way I see it though it's our government job to look out for it's citizens, Irish farmers are getting screwed when they try to sell their product and couldn't afford to grow the product without the subsideys. Should we just abandon our farming industry and import our food?
I'm all for buying local food and their does seem to be a bit of a movement towards Irish farmers cutting out the middle man and selling to local stores, which is much better in my opinion.
The thing is the world has more than enough food, 50% of it rots. It's really all our own fault for demanding cheeper food.
