I do not know how the Minister reacted to it, but I found the bombardment by the National Dairy Council’s campaign around World Milk Day recently, particularly on television, alarming. It was nothing other than a greenwashing exercise. I was alarmed that it portrayed a need for us all to consume more and more dairy on the grounds that it was efficient, good for the planet, made everyone look happy-clappy, green and healthy. Will the Minister comment on this? Is he worried about it? Has the Government funded any of this advertising in any way?
