Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys. I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint. Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality. I breed and keep 20 different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths. White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral" You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Sorry but if someone is robbing your store and spitting at your staff and the manager steps forward and confronts the git, restrains him and keeps his staff safe you don't sack him, you thank him, give him a bravery award and a bonus. @Morrisons you are idiots
This is Sean Egan. He joined Morrisons at the age of 17. After 29 years of dedication at supermarket chain, he was dismissed for confronting a shoplifter, which led to a scuffle with thief who spat at him. A shameful decision by @Morrisons. He should be thanked, not sacked.

"Beef uses 15,400 litres of water per kilogram." A number so enormous it practically comes with a documentary. And it's real. I'm not disputing the number. I'm disputing what it means. The same accounting method also gives you: almonds at around 10,000 litres per kilogram. Avocados at roughly 2,000. Cottonseed oil (the stuff in your "heart-healthy" cooking spray) at around 3,800. None of these have prompted a national conversation about whether you should reconsider your stir-fry. Here is what the headline number hides. Water is not one thing. It comes in categories. Not a conspiracy. Just hydrology. Green water is rain. It falls on pasture, the grass absorbs it, the cow drinks from the trough, it evaporates, it rains again. This is a closed local cycle that has run on British hillsides since before anyone was counting. The cattle are not removing that water from the planet. Blue water is groundwater, rivers, aquifers. Extracted, redirected, and frequently not returned. The stuff that actually runs out. The water that, when it goes, takes villages with it. Beef is roughly 93% green water. Blue water: around 550 litres per kilogram. Now look at those same crops again. Blue water only. California almonds: approximately 5,300 litres of blue water per kilogram. Drawn from the Central Valley aquifer system, which is measurably subsiding. In a state that has been in various stages of drought for most of the last twenty years. Avocados from Chile's Petorca province: around 1,280 litres of blue water per kilogram, pulled from shared river systems in one of the driest regions in South America. Communities downstream have been left without drinking water. The UN documented it. The smashed avocado did not come with a footnote. Cottonseed oil: roughly 3,300 litres of blue water per kilogram. The irrigation of cotton crops in Central Asia diverted the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. The Aral Sea, once the fourth-largest lake on Earth, is now a desert. Fishing villages sit in a landscape of salt flats and rusted boats. It happened in living memory. Beef's blue water: 550 litres. Almonds: 5,300. Avocados: 1,280. Cottonseed oil: 3,300. The cow is drinking rain. Everything else is drinking something that doesn't come back. 15,400 litres. Accurate number. Wrong category of water. The people publishing it know exactly what green and blue mean. They just don't expect you to ask.

Watching my golf and seeing Rory McILROY falling about by the seams. Bad enough he lost a 6-Shot lead on Saturday, walking into Sunday as a co-leader, but now heโ€™s missing gimmeโ€™s, surrending the lead to Cameron Young, whoโ€™s now got a 2-Shot lead. Not Good. Not Good at all
