vegan protests at marts

Are they like those screwy lambs that die at the first frost? 😂
just watched a video on youtube that said that Vegans have smaller brains than meat eaters (we use 1/3 of the energy in the food we eat to "run" or brains, so need energy dense food to do that ~ meat, no meat, less energy therefore smaller brains!)

Another way I look at it is, how many hours a day does a sheep keep eating? How many hours a day does a lion eat?

There will be something in that, I saw that our brains developed through meat eating so different ways of saying the same thing, namely Vegans are stupid!

This is true. I remember reading that meat eating was important in human development.

My son got majorly hassled yesterday at Norwich when some numpty stopped at the gate for a chat leaving him stranded outside surrounded by the loonies.

Is Norwich weekly? Never see their prices in the press or anything.

I suspect you must have a few militant vegans in the city with time on their hands and only one place to protest against, not like the SW or North of England with loads of different markets, slaughterhouses etc.

Put a hunting horn in the glove box and give it a toot next time you’re passing. Should wind them up nicely 👍

don't mind a genuine protest but ,as i pointed out to the inspector in charge, where it drops into harassment i have issues.......TBF to police they've been pretty good last few times :)

no point winding them up as it's what they want IMO

There is a lot of evidence that suggests the human diet and having a relatively large skull and brain went hand in hand. Having a large brain compared to the size of our skeletons means you needed a diet that could feed and maintain it. Larger brain meant more memory and problem solving and gave us the ingenuity that allowed us to really catch game/meat in the required volume needed. Humans don't have particularly acute senses, we lack serious teeth or claws and we can't even run that fast so it was largely down to team work and cunning if you wanted to catch live prey.
