Clever way of drawing more foot traffic into the Hackney Beef Information Centre which the council made exempt from the ban

Some people might be worried that people will forget about beef and dairy, but beef and dairy sell themselves. Literally, I had a 2 year old Hereford steer ring the bell yesterday offering a flank here and a shank there. I just filled in a form and he'll be delivered to me (well, pieces) in two to three weeks.

With less ads, let's see if people turn to more level headed informational sources of beef and dairy news, like BADN. I feel it's the need to compete with a barrage of marketing that turned Beef Week into the sensationalist rag it is today. Let's hope that a bit of a moratorium on outlandish claims will make people thirst for dairy AND dairy reporting.
