I don't know how to share the link, but if your are on faceache and look up the Sheffield Star newspaper. They reported about a group of extremist vegans shouting and hoohaing at some butchers stalls in the market. If you read the comments it's good to see that a good 95% of the folks are steadfast meat eaters and told the vegan posters to royally get the f*** outta here!!

The vegans are noisy, annoying and slightly deranged, but they will never take over.

Only 5% of the population are veggie/vegan.

Do you think people such as this will ever stop eating meat?

That would be interesting. A total ban on vegan food on the site. See how many are prepared to starve for 3 days on principle of being vegan.

Erm, given that there's only something like 135,000 tickets & it's not an event exclusively attended by vegans I think your figures may be slightly off the mark...

Sober figures suggest more like 1.5%, very few are totally committed.

I’ll forego my burger and fly on a plane on holiday and think I’ve offset my carbon footprint.

Possibly, but I believe that there were 135,000 on general sale, so with local freebies, comps, volunteers & staff etc it may well be 200,000 total - either way significantly less than suggested above!

There's also nothing to suggest that vegans & vegetarians are any more likely to be attending than any other types.
