1) @mynameisAndyJ - top caterer - explains the problems with low-standard meat on public plates

3) @DavidBowles21 of the @RSPCA_official explains the loopholes letting poor-standard food onto public menus and undermining our farmers
4) Government spokesperson (from @DefraGovUK) says it doesn& #39;t know about any caterers using the loopholes (see lots of evidence to the contrary here: https://www.sustainweb.org/climatechange/public_sector_procurement/">https://www.sustainweb.org/climatech... )
5) THAT leaked email showing Australian meat contaminated with faecal matter, and why it could end up on UK patient menus
6) @neil_parish says the @CommonsEFRA committee will recommend that gvt do better, including strengthening standards
7) Finally - incredible piece by organic grower Andy Jeffrey from @FarringtonsShop, selling to the public sector *cheaper* through the @swfoodhub @Eating_Better - let& #39;s make this the norm!!
