My OH has been vegan for the past year and he's so much healthier and has lost lots of weight, another bonus for me is he now does most of the cooking.

I'm vegetarian and so are the kids but the vegan thing is a bit too much for me, can't live without cheese

You mean like that Chinese restaurant owner whose brother worked in the morgue and kept him well supplied with choice cuts from his recent "clients",.....until the authorities caught up with him.

Enjoy your next Chinese!.....

Chinese is my favourite food.

Looks like I may have sampled human then at some stage.

Oh well, better than pony.

so you'll be vegan for less than a minute?


or is this to be a lifestyle change?

I’m currently a meat eater with a beer belly, though not a massive one. I make resolutions every year, and always break them. Maybe next year will be different.

do you think so?


vegetarianism I might manage if I had to


apart from bacon sarnies

veganism though - a step too far for me

Usual silly confusion about what is natural and what isn't. We evolved to eat anything we could, and we were happy to kill and eat anything we could get into our mouths.

Veganism is a very suspect religion to me for a number of reasons. Number one, it ain't natural, number two it is totally suspect morally.

Stop killing the pests, and the crops will be overrun with them. You cannot keep pests off the crops without killing, and frankly there isn't enough room for them and us to eat.

So if you are a vegan, that means someone else has been killing your pests for you which to me is quite immoral and hypocritical.

A friend of mine went veggie for a number of years - but it was the smell of a bacon butty that brought her back to the fold

We went to our friends house for a BBQ in the summer. They are Brits and have lived here about for five years or so. My friends wife said she wasn't sure if the packet of meat she had was beef or pork because she couldn't understand Spanish. My wife had to explain to her that the picture of a cow on the packaging meant it was beef.

Do Turkey Twizzlers count as vegetarian?

They don't even count as real food do they?

indeed... however, with apologies to the lady in question and everyone else for going off topic, how can this happen? How can someone live in a country for five years and not take the trouble to understand the rudimentary words??????

5 years??


I know some who have been here 25 years and still point

OMG

to an extent you can get away with it around here, I sometimes think unfortunately

and the pictures of the cows on the packs of meat don't help them to need to learn
