Vegans vegans everywhere

Here's some more militant vegan logic: farmer posts pictures on Facebook after one of his cows has triplets, so that means it's OK to issue death threats against the farmer and his kids. :mad:

I've seen a few wishing that female dairy farmers have their breast cancer return.

Like, WTF?

There were two on the PKShow on TV3 last night. As a result of their efforts I'm trebling my intake of rib-eye.

What a strange reaction. What did they do that affected you?

Seems to me that some sensitive souls think that anybody doing something they themselves would not is rejecting their life-style values and implicitly condemning them in the most judgemental fashion.

Which is utter nonsense.

Now if by "vegan" you mean the sort of sniffy, judgemental bollox who refers to their food choices as "following an ethical diet" and constantly sneers at your suasages and hamburgers because of the threat they pose to the future viability of our planet, then fine. You can and should be intolerant of intolerance.

But I have never personally come across such a person. And have only ever heard of them in chat threads such as this. Which makes me doubt that they form any size of body of opinion at all.

I should add that I am in a "mixed marriage"; I likes my "bit o' mate" but have been married to a vegetarian for more than 20 years. Our kids are also split 50-50 between those who do and those who don't.

They were on the television on a prime slot pushing their weird-beard nonsense into my living-room. If I was on the television pushing my Tyrannosaurus Rex approach to food, I'm sure they'd have plenty to say about it.

They're just insufferably smug and preachy. I had a burger in their honour last night.

Well, in fairness, they gave us a good laugh but their arrogant attitude comes across as bad, if not worse, than religious zealots and, accordingly, best ignored.

See, the edgy thing to do would be to go out and shoot 50 sheep. You eating a burger unfortunately doesn't annoy a single vegan any more, because nearly everyone is doing that anyway.

Rashers are a vegetable, right? I’m vegan too.

I don't see why the brouhaha about what people eat or do not eat. There are bigger things to get upset over.

Do militant vegans get as upset about flies being swatted. Is there a line for them?

I remember a hilarious morning on the GR show many years ago when animal rights folk were out on some Irish beach trying to shovel a shoal of washed up jelly fish back into the sea in order to “save them” . They got on the radio pleading for volunteers, apparently the jelly fish were suffering immeasurable pain.
Some professor of oceanography or whatever then came on and just made bits of them telling them that jelly fish have no brains etc. can feel no pain.
Typical GR

It’s fascinating that you would let them have such influence over your food choice. They really struck a chord with you then

Poor you. I must be lucky that I’m not having it forced down my neck. Or maybe I just don’t get upset about people having a different outlook.

They don’t have any power to actually make you do anything. You know that, right?

These are the same people who think that the bishop nearly had a heart attack because he heard someone had a steak on Ash Wednesday.

Given that 99% of the planet's human population eat meat nearly daily, and many of them 3 times a day, do you really think that one of them eating a burger yesterday cost a single vegan a minute of sleep?

I wouldn't mind one way or the other. At the very least nut milks are inoffensive and at best they are delicious in things like porridge. Homemade nit milk is a bit of a faf-on but it's absolutely delicious.

Never thought of milking nits, must try it, but aren't they hard to get hold of, being so small and all?

I have suffered a lifetime of being told what to do and what to eat and all that nonsense. Being a Roman Catholic in 1960's Ireland, fish on Friday, no meat on certain days etc. I will be damned if I will let a fringe group tell me what I can or cannot eat or let anybody try to impose their values on me or any of my fellow human beings.

Vegans can take a hike as far as I am concerned. My authority figures who were not too bad on the subject of religious observance ( there were worse parents around..) are no longer in a position to boss me around and I am now the sole authority figure in my life. I'll be damned before I would let any fringe group dictate what I can or cannot buy or eat. This to me is a red line position.

I enjoy my full Irish Breakfasts. I enjoy my medium rare steaks. I enjoy my chicken and ham dinners and I enjoy meat.

As an inhabitant of a northern latitude and wet Island where tillage and the growing of grain, fruits and vegetables is difficult at best and the growing of grass fed cattle,sheep and pigs is relatively easy, it makes sense to include meat in a persons diet.

Completely excluding meat will mean a drastic decrease in a very short time in the populations of sheep, cattle and pigs on the planet...people will not breed them if they cannot eat them. Is this what Vegans want?? The reduction in less than 10 years of the cow population from 1.46 billion to.....what?

Vegans do not even use milk so that cows will become ornaments or pets...it doesn't take a genius to figure out what will happen without an economic dimension to a cows life such as the trade of meat ,leather and milk. They will disappear from the planet in a very short time.

I just don't have time to become a vegan. It's that simple. I live by myself and cook basic meals. I don't have the time or energy to go vegan.

How is preparing a salad or smoothie more time/energy consuming than preparing a ham sandwich?

c.p.w.g.w

There is a certain type of Vegan that i do love...

The Vegans that will act all high and mighty about how ethical their food choices are...while wearing Nike footwear, clothing for Pennies and/or vintage Adidas trainers/jacket...oh their so ethical :rolleyes:

Are you one? Since when? And why? What's your daily conversion rate of normal-humans to vegans?

I recently read that the increase of vegans in the US is 600% over the last three years. I live in the UK and I'd say anecdotally we're definitely up there as well. Three lads in my office alone have been "reducing their meat consumption" in the last few months based on another lad discovering the joys of chickpeas and kale smoothies and pea protein powder and eating food that real food is supposed to eat. I was invited to a "vegan cocktail party" recently too, whatever the fook that is.

Can't wait to see what the next food craze will be. Paleo, gluten-free, veganism, what next? I'm curious about whether or not this vegan virus has spread to Ireland as well?

No definitely not one of those.

Any vegan I know are very narcissistic, prone to gaslighting and have the skin tone of Bart Simpson.
They're also very weak physically, and love arguing with authority.

Not sure if the skin tone is jaundice or they're lacking something.

Anyhow I don't feel sorry for them.

They forget to realize that their DNA is programmed to eat properly and meat is a stable part of human diet.

There's a vegan restaurant in Ennis and every time I pass buy and glance in the window all I see are yellow people...

When I was younger I thought a vegan was someone who was sick.

I don't mind vegans myself
And why would I?

Am I supposed to look up to a fat cnt who eats steak for breakfast lunch dinner and supper because he thinks it makes him macho?

I actually find that meat eaters have the same vitriol towards vegans as atheists have towards religionists.

Meat eaters want to call out vegans because they think they're snotty and pompous. Why would you be so insecure as to think that?

aaronjumper

I ended up trying quinoa burgers out of curiosity a few weeks ago and they're lovely.

Being honest I don't care what something is or isn't made out of as long as it tastes great.
Just keep the onions to yourselves ye sickos.

I don't have any problems with vegans as long as the don't keep going on about it. The militant vegans are pure nut jobs spreading lies and nonsense about farming and think they are on some moral high ground. If someone wants to be vegan fair enough but don't expect everyone else to do the same.

Yeah with food shortages will be plenty meat for sure.

I love how meat eaters (I am one) automatically think that not eating meat makes you weak. They're usually not in great shape themselves.

You can be a crap vegan and be weak, just like you can be a crap omnivour and be weak/fat/out of shape.

A good diet, whether it be vegan, vegetraian, pescatarian or omnivorous and a good strenght trainign program will make people stronger.

Weird how so many people are affected by others' food choices. There's obviously some level of guilt in there somewhere.

Last week seen a cyclist wearing a cycling jersey saying "Vegan & proud" or something like that.

The thing is that vegans themselves admit they have to take supplements to make up for what they are lacking in their diet.

The B12 supplements, that a about 40% of the non-vegan population also would need to take to bring their levels up to "healthy"?

I only know of one vegan and she never forces her views down anyone's throat. I've said it before in another thread but the only people I ever see getting annoyed over this are meat eaters who think vegans spend their lives trying to stop them eating meat. Sure there are some forceful vegans out there but a lot aren't and have just made a personal choice. Anytime it's brought up it's never her doing it - it's usually someone taking the piss out of her or trying to get a rise out of her.

I'm personally a vegetarian, a relatively recent decision. I'm also finding that other people bring it up wayyyy more than I do with the "would you not fancy a steak instead of that" comments. Nah you're alright, you eat what you like and I'll eat what I like and I won't comment on your food. I was never a huge fan of meat in the first place, especially when I had to cook it myself and saw it raw so it wasn't the hardest thing for me. I think it's easy to be completely disconnected from the whole animal slaughtering process when we just buy packaged meat in shops. I 100% was. People comment on veganism/vegetarianism being incredibly expensive but that's really not the case. Vegetables, grains, variations of beans etc are dirt cheap in lidl/aldi. I always found meat was the most expensive part of my shop.

40% you say, that's an exaggeration. They are lacking in more than B12.
