Rabbit is also easy to spoil as although they're easy to skin it's easy to nick their spleen iirc and spill the contents over the meat and it's not just can lead to malnutrition, you eat nothing but rabbit for three months and you'll be dead.
Not sure how I'd feel if I were a farmer, on the one hand they've got this new rabbit potato combo revenue stream but on the other Minford is still espousing that running down farming "like we did coal and steel" is the way of the future, I'm not really sure how being totally dependent on other countries for food is taking back control.
