The DoA directly affects not just farmers, but public health, the environment, animal welfare - a food chain that has it's own ecology usual controlled by big business. Here's a chance to break that chain - sign the petition and get someone responsible in that key position.

Just use the GPS to navigate London by "feeling broke". A few years from now our bio-sensors will be passing our emotional data direct to satellite and back to our heads-up display...so as to avoid all that nasty thinking and typing.
