Unfortunately for you, those who already have health problems will not
get as much benefit as those who are healthy.

The healthy may be able to tolerate the pollution but the unhealthy
not.

No, pollution will make the healthy unhealthy. Look at the history of
big cities like London.

Do you actually deny that the healthy are more resistant to harm from
pollution than the unhealthy? Why are you trying to defend polluters?
What is your hidden agenda here?

Also, the relatively small reduction in car traffic due to the
Zone means that a total exclusion would bring much bigger health
benefits.

And this reduction in pollution is more than negated by the burning
down of rain forests for soya, and the subsequent air haulage of that
soya around the world for your unhealthy diet.

Hang on! Soya is also used for biofuels and feeding cattle, neither of
which do I need. It is also in lots of processed foods which you
undoubtedly eat.

What gives you the idea that I eat a lot of processed food? You are
making a lot of big assumptions about me, that you cannot possibly
know about.
Processed food is extolled by supermarkets, which you seem to be a big
fan of.

What about the biofuels from soya and the cattle?

Most people eat some form of processed food. Do you not eat cheese? Do
you not eat bread? Do you not eat sausages? What about the methane
from the animals you eat?

But I bet you don't
give a *** about the air pollution in South America or Asia caused by
your dietary fads, or from the planes flying your food to you, you
hypocritical selfish ***

Pot kettle hypocrite. With your car

WFT? Unlike you, Hypocrite, I don't own, and have never owned or run
any kind of motor vehicle. I definitely have never flown to another
continent just to drive around and tear up pristine land, or driven a
Chelsea tractor.

Yes but do you ever travel by car? So how else do you get around then?

and our diet

I eat healthy natural food, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my
diet. Fresh meat, fruit and veg, unlike the processed stuff you eat
that comes from the supermarkets that you love.

Are you now claiming you only eat meat and fruit and veg? What about
dairy products and bread?

you inevitably cause much more damage than me.

You don't have a clue about me.

No because you are not letting on are you, about all the other crap
you eat and how you get around without a car.

For a start I don't own a massive
network of computers, when just one is enough.

One is not enough for some purposes.

What about the methane from the farm animals you eat?

Again, this is a natural healthy diet. The vegan diet that you have is
unhealthy and bad for you.

Rubbish. The longest lived man in UK, Harry Shoerats, who cycled to
work until he was 100, was a vegan. Who gets to decides what is a
natural healthy diet? Our early ancestors didn't eat cooked foods.
Check out the hunter gatherer diet, that is the nearest you will get
to a natural diet. What people eat today is very unnatural and they
haven't had long enough to evolve to it, hence all the obesity.

I bet you produce a lot of methane when you fart, a lot more than the
average person due to your dietary fads.

My diet is more natural than yours and healthier, since it is based
solely on fruit. veg and grains and doesn't include processed dairy
products or meat..

Farting from all the animals you exploit is much more than anything I
can ever manage.
