Any idea how many rabbits are shot so that vegans can eat carrots? Better if the meat doesn't go to waste. Rabbits are a pest animal. I don't care how many you shoot. Same with muntjac and Chinese water deer. Rabbits may well be a pest but the meat is bloody marvellous served with redcurrant sauce. |

LMAO! If vegans hate meat so much, why do they try to make everything look and taste like meat??.......Another flash in the pan on its way out! Even Wetherspoons have tried Vegan January, but the stuff is not selling! By comparison its Burns nite specials of Haggis & Burgers sold out before the week was over! The death of vegan fast food: Experts warn plant-based restaurants could be on their way out as one starts selling MEAT and chain backed by Lewis Hamilton and Leonardo DiCaprio closes half its branches... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13027949/vegan-fast-food-Experts-plant-based-restaurants-way-out.html |

LMAO! If vegans hate meat so much, why do they try to make everything look and taste like meat??....... EXACTLY
As i have said before, i was "vegetarian" when i was a student because i was too bloody poor to eat meat.
To be more specific, my diet in my undergraduate late teens and early twenties had significantly less meat than my childhood and the years that followed when i raked in a full time income NOT because i chose to join some damn nut cult, but because in common with half the world's population, my wallet would not support the purchase of the sort of meat you would WANT to eat.
Unlike today's influencer-led world i and others in my financial predicament found massive support for my desire to find ways not to starve to death from various fellow students and, as i am neither afraid nor embarrassed to admit, from the hindu quarter within the university chaplaincy !! Yes I was something of an "adherent" t that organisation, being in those days a nonconformist christian lay preacher.... but through the chaplaincy I discovered a significant number of student and general public followers of The Hindu faith operated what some might snidely call a soup kitchen on the university student union's premises, but more importantly as far as i was concerned showed me how to cook stuff from vegetable origins that wasn't boring as fuck but also did not pretend to be anything other than vegetable in origin
Yes we had what was jokingly referred to as textured vegetable protein - processed soya - but it took about a gallon of a one molar solution of monosodium glutamate to make it taste of anything. Accordingly it was used in some dishes but was about as close to minced beef as Smith's Frazzles were to genuine smoked bacon.
My various "vegetarian / pescatorian" friends and colleagues over the years - many who avoided certain foods simply because they disliked them or were made ill to some degree if they ate them - never went out f their way to make their meals imitate those of meat eaters. I honestly do not see why the sudden push to make meat free meat.

I'm vegetarian but I buy about 5kg of meat a week in cat food. AND THATS ANOTHER THING. I have no idea if it is true but my daughter tells me her neighbour insists her cats are vegan because she is. GOD KNOWS what she feeds them but i do wonder whether this is actually a case fr the RSPCA |

I've only just noticed this thread.
As is often the case, the title and OP are somewhat misleading.
Just a cursory look at the ACTUAL story reveals that :
A motion was put forward asking the council to provide a vegan OPTION at all council-run facilities and functions.
The motion failed.
That's democracy.
It's also a bit of a non-story.
It's certainly true that the use of land to turn plants into meat isn't a good marshaling of resources, and also that we tend to eat far more meat (compared to previous generations) than is good for us.
It would take an almost uniquely militant carnivore to object to giving people a choice, or even encouraging folk to skip meat altogether for the odd meal.
(For the record, I'm solidly in the meat eater camp - and I'm also consciously eating less of it than I did (say) five years ago.)

GOD KNOWS what she feeds them but i do wonder whether this is actually a case fr the RSPCA It definitely is. Dogs can live healthily (but not happily) on a meat free diet but cats cannot. Cats will get sick and die on a vegan diet. I would certainly call the RSPCA. |

I have no idea about such things, my life being what it was with all the travelling around i never bothered with pets, as i knew i would rarely be home to look after them. If what I hear is the truth this has been going on for about a fortnight following some damn fad, and i will be having a pint with someone i know works for the organisation tonight, so a quiet word i think might well be on the cards. |

Well it might be a bit of a non story in your view, although I swear i saw something that suggested they were going further than just demanding an option....
BUT we DO have a rabid vegan singing and dancing the praises of several other councils and schools who have responded to "encouragement" from fundamentalists little better than the scum that firebombed me because they objected to my looking for a cure for cancer, but seem very keen to take up my nephew's successes built on the work of several including myself when their gran needs it.......

Was standing in a high street of a rural town a couple of hours ago . A huge lorry went past full of pigs , a few of them were screaming in fright. Hmmm.. Well there you are.
I like pigs and they can't be any messier than all the trendies in Camden Market, so let the pigs roam and slaughter the vegans. At least you can have an intelligent conversation with a pig.
