Spanish farms
In Spain, the Minister for Consumer Affairs, Alberto Garzón, wants the public to recognise the impact of megafarms on the environment, and encourages people to change their eating habits. Spain is one of the biggest meat-eating countries in the world, and the calls to limit meat-consumption has faced a furious backlash, not least from leading politicians.
Many farmers feel their livelihoods could be jeopardised by a reduction in meat eating, with some political parties saying that the state should not have a say in the population's eating habits.
