Vegan groups being “militant”

[IanM]

Men do have hormonal cycles that impact our moods in a similar way to PMT in women. Because we have no overt physical symptoms it’s hard to pin down but it does happen.

...which wasnt what the looney-tunes were refering too!

If we all gave up meat, what would the burger flippers do for a living?

Flip chicken. 😁

Yeah, but Steak tastes so good.....

Especially with a fried egg on top!

Vegi or vegan


You see, that is a responsible outlook, and needless to say, dropping red meat is better for your health. Perhaps if people just a had one day a week when they didn't eat meat would be a good idea.

Back to the thread. I find militant vegans to be very boring, and have no issue with them being eaten

Probably wouldn't bee too nutritious though, about the same as celery.

One thing I’ve never understood is vegetarians who eat bacon flavoured crisps etc



Lad at works gone veggie .. full blown. Won’t even eat stuff cooked with meat (when we cooked a Sunday roast we did his potatoes separate) yet eats smokey bacon crisps because their veggie



Either you want meat or you don’t surely?

The factual ignorance in this topic is quite bewildering, although I understand most of it is tongue in cheek but the posts that aren't is quite worrying from what I believe is from a fairly well educated membership.

Today will be a full English. Sandwich for lunch, probably cheese, and a bag of crisps. And its meat feast pizzas with chips for tea - not sure meat feast pizzas have any meat. Supper will probably be a bit of pork pie with cheese and a glass of port. Will I live to 100? I don't care. I'll live as long as I live. Would I live longer if I switched my diet a bit? Probably, but I'd rather have a bacon sandwich.

Can I have an invite? I'll do without the crisps.

Enlighten us as to our ignorance.

I don't want to get in to a big debate but if you read my first post in this topic you'll possibly understand how I may have more knowledge than most on the subject.

As an example though, the post about bacon flavoured crisps is comical but that's enough from me.

Life wouldn’t be worth living if I couldn’t have chicken in a madras or a big massive battered fish with my chips 😛

From what I gather, most vegans are not proper vegans.

I only know one, and it's one hell of a commitment to be a proper vegan so you may well be right.

I know one full vegan and she is perfectly nice. Never goes on about us eating meat/dairy etc. She will gladly cook meat for us when we come round and I will reciprocate with a fully vegan meal for her at ours. No fuss.
It’s the preachy/morally outraged vegan that has zero tolerance for the vast majority of society who partake from animal products that gets me riled up.

Human beings are born as omnivores. But they are also born with free will. So one can take it from there.

If someone wishes to try to persuade me of their particular view, then fine. But if they wish to impose their view on me, then not fine, and especially not fine if they try to impose that view by intimidation.

Your right to some degree. We are considered omnivores, but our ability to digest red meat is negligible. There were anything up to six types of homosapiens on the planet at one point, some were vegetarian, and other omnivores. They interbred, so to what degree we are vegetarian, and to what degree we are omnivores is arguable. You see, we are still evolving.

I totally agree that nobody should be attempting to enforce their views on you, but unfortunately this is something society and government are also guilty of, hence our lack of freedom of speech

It’s one thing to be ignorant about the plight..

It’s another to literally not give a monkeys about it...

Personally I’m sick to death of the whole guilt trade by guilt peddlers that does the rounds these days.

Utterly boring and somewhat irritating.

You may regard her as a vegan but a proper vegan will not cook meat for anyone ......................... apparently.

In life - as in golf - beware he who claims more knowledge than others.

I am a veggie, and think you will find all veggies are the same. I won't eat anything cooked in animal fat, or cooked with meat. I also won't eat any thing cooked on a BBQ that is cooking meat. This is pretty much the norm. As a matter of interest, vegetarianism and veganism is growing quite rapidly, and 12% of the population are one or the other. Of course, there is a real south north divide on this. Where I live they think I am really weird, but perhaps I am ?
