No they haven't, always best to establish the facts.
Vegans and fractures

We took some lambs for the freezer and payment for a few for bits of grazing etc. The small family run abattoir is well run and the staff superb.
There was no fuss,no shouting,just gentle movement of the animals through the process.
The height of compassion and professionalism.

Vegetarian and vegan diets and risks of total and site-specific fractures: results from the prospective EPIC-Oxford study - BMC Medicine
Background There is limited prospective evidence on possible differences in fracture risks between vegetarians, vegans, and non-vegetarians. We aimed to study this in a prospective cohort with a large proportion of non-meat eaters. Methods In EPIC-Oxford, dietary information was collected at...

“The university has a commitment to anti-racism, and this requires urgent action to minimise greenhouse emissions.”
Whatever he is smoking, it's stronger than anything we had as students.

The devil being in the detail, don't just read the headline. Oxford Uni is made up of colleges, the union is made up of members from the colleges although reports suggest little interest is shown in the union. Union voted to seek a ban of red meat in college eateries but that then requires each college to vote on banning red meat in their eateries. It is like the conservative conference voting for a requirement that local conservative clubs ban fascists, the local club would then decide whether to adopt the motion by putting it to a vote of their membership.

I believe the link is because it is the third world countries which will suffer first and more severely by rising sea level and other consequences of global warming.

As are all abattoirs that i've seen, including a truly massive pig only one at Horsens in Denmark that even has a public viewing gallery and hosts many school visits. Absolutely calm and humane animal handling throughout.

It's the same deal as happened at Goldsmith's. A couple of vegan lunatics using climate change as an excuse to push their agenda at the SU. The chief loon in this case, one Vihan Jain, is obviously not that bothered about climate change considering that he's quite the globe trotter

Probably even more tenuous than the Conservative analogy, as the student union has no hold over the colleges (they hold it in contempt). The student union is a bit of a joke; doesn't even have a bar (the union bar is something completely different and contains some very strange beasts).

Don't we make vitamin D just by being outside in the sunlight? If we do, why do we need to take a supplement? Just get a bit of sunlight on your skin, maybe even have a walk at the same time and also get your heart fitter.

Because hardly anyone, even farmers and outdoorsy types get enough sun except in mid-summer to create adequate amounts of vit D in the body. A short walk in the sun just doesn't cut it. Even people in fairer climates are found deficient.
What sort of efficient factory for VitD do you think we have inside us that gets through clothes of produces VitD from short exposures to tiny parts of our bodies? To get enough from the sun we would need to be out in the duff all year round, lord forbid.

of course each "expert" is within their own little bubble, therefore someone looking at skin cancer says, cover up at all times, never take your shirt off while working outside to get a tan, and then from a perspective of vitamin D, get a tan. I heard someone (chest expert I think) on the today programme saying houses did not have enough ventilation, open windows to get fresh air in, while at the same time building regs are testing new housing for air tightness to reduce wastage of fuel.

If he's constantly on the road he might have sufficient VitD.
The 'recommended' level of VitD is only enough to avoid rickets and is now considered to be far too low for optimum health benefit.

I think the 'open the windows and doors' recommendation is for crowded buildings like schools, shops, pubs and similar to minimise the risk of spreading viruses during an epidemic. Not so much for private houses, although if the heating is off during the day and jumpers can be worn, it doesn't conflict with the need for effective insulation when the heating is on in households. My heating is off for all but six hours every day, so it makes no odds for most of the rest of the time if a window or door is open for fresh air. Ventilation like that is particularly needed and effective when cooking, to prevent excessive humidity and condensation.
