Perhaps this explains his "mood" last night? Its clearly a dig, as the NFU represents the meat industry.
Morrisey urged to back Scottish fruit and veg - Farmers Guardian
15 June 2011
NFU Scotland has called on rock star Morrissey to give his backing to Scottish fruit and vegetable growers during gigs in Scotland, which kick off in Perth tonight (Wednesday, June 15).
A prominent vegetarian, Morrissey has allegedly insisted that meat be removed from the menu at the venues on the Scottish leg of his tour, which takes in Perth, Inverness, Dunoon, Dunfermilne and Hawick.
The union has written to Morrissey and his record company asking him to use this decision in a positive way as it presents an opportunity to insist all catering at the concerts be based on local or Scottish produce, which would give a ‘significant boost’ to the many fruit and vegetable growers in the country.
NFU Scotland communications director Bob Carruth said: “The decision to take meat off the menu at Perth has the potential to raise a few eyebrows and raise a few hackles amongst Scotland’s livestock farmers.
“However, we have taken the chance to point out to Morrissey and his team that there is still a great opportunity here to support the many fruit and vegetable growers in the country by insisting local produce is being served up.”
