"He wants to make money out of us not eating meat because he's not putting cows on those fields.

"He's putting solar panels and he's encouraging us whilst building factories of fake meat. And you talk about health.

"A good steak full of protein with some vegetables is better for you than a bowl of vegetarian pasta, all the carbohydrates we'll eat in their place.

"This is not consensus thinking, but it seems like the religion of net zero presumes that we all agree with this.

"We don't."

In the feisty exchange, the environmental author hit back: “Well, the actual fact is that if you think all this junk science, you're actually junking Margaret Thatcher.

"Margaret Thatcher's speech to the United Nations was one of the most important speeches she made.

"She said we have to take account of the climate emergency and if we don't, we will face temperatures that will exceed temperatures of the last 125 thousand years. And that has come to pass.”

Britain's Newsroom co-host Andrew Pierce retorted: “She didn't say stop eating meat.

The row continued with Bev adding: “Every time the net zero zealotry comes on here and tells us there is consensus.

"There's never consensus on science.

"The whole point of science is there's never consensus. So whilst you're telling us what we can and can't put on our plate, how we can and can't live our lives, and harking back to the 1930s."

Bev finished the interview explaining that she understood the arguments but the most important point was that she would never force anyone to eat or not eat meat.
