Prince William's Passion: New Father, New Hope. But what after?

                                               
 


     

    Lots of you don't know that the Menu for the Royal Wedding in May is entirely vegan following the Queen of England's review of the multi-cultural / celebrity guest list. The role that meat and dairy play in the increased risks to health and the environment.The Queen has decided that because there are so many guests from different cultures with different religious and ethical dietary requirements that the most sensible solution is to go totally plant based to avoid diplomatic embarrassment with a Hindu dignitary eating beef or a Muslim Sultan eating pork . The Queen's head chef Mark Flanagan was working on a 100% vegan royal wedding menu but still with a 'best of British' theme. Celebrity Vegan cook Sarah Kramer was being brought over from Canada to advise on ingredients for the reworked Royal Wedding cake. But what did they eat? Did those vegetables tested before serving? Sad news is actually vegetables in the UK ruined by manure contaminated with toxic fertilizer already.
                                                  

  The Guardian UK is reporting on gardeners who have unknowingly poisoned their own vegetables by using manure contaminated with a powerful herbicide, causing plants and vegetables to grow "deformed and withered" in gardens and allotments across the UK.The pesticide appears to have entered the food chain via grass treated twelve months ago: "Experts say the grass was probably made into silage, then fed to cattle during the winter months. The herbicide remained present in the silage, passed through the animal and into manure that was later sold."

   The extent of this problem is not known, but gardeners are being warned not to eat any home-grown vegetables that bear signs of damage by the herbicide, and are being advised not to replant in the same soil for at least a year.

   The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has been inundated with calls from concerned gardeners who have seen potatoes, beans, peas, carrots and salad vegetables wither or become grossly deformed. The society admitted that it had no idea of the extent of the problem, but said it appeared 'significant'. The affected gardens and allotments have been contaminated by manure originating from farms where the hormone-based herbicide aminopyralid has been sprayed on field. Aminopyralid, which is found in several Dow products, the most popular being Forefront, a herbicide, is not licensed to be used on food crops and carries a label warning farmers using it not to sell manure that might contain residue to gardeners.

                                            

    The only way to avoid this poison vegetable is by planting soilless hydroponics vegetables. Simply setting up an LED grower of less than 200 GBP, then you will get fresh, poison free vegetables to add to your table. What are you still waiting for?
