Good on them I say. At least their children won't be born into a world of malnutrition and abject misery.

Rather like the Shakers, who believed in being celebrate, so they have died out (there may be two left), not a good plan if you wish your views to continue! But as I believe Veganism to be an evolutionary dead end, I am not going to argue!
They shouldn't be allowed to breed that's for sure
I saw that earlier, getting all the Ex students fired up.
It's nice to know that the SU is supporting the majority of their students future/current occupations

It’s very odd. The current student union president regularly shows dairy cows. Why would he allow Veganuary to be promoted on his watch?
It’s all about being PC and woke.... world has gone made! Have a pint/water - and a bacon sandwich/cheese sandwich and debate! We seem to have lost the ability or indeed fear/passion to do this!

When I was at Seale Hayne in the seventies the student union was totally alien to most of the students, a handful of 'mature students' who had their own agenda. Once they arranged busses to a leftie protest in Exeter, but the students found a butchers shop selling foreign meat, blockaded it, and got on the local news, the SU were furious! Also they booked head banging rock bands for dances, when we would have preferred Adge Cutler or the Yetties.

I did a quick Google search to see who owns Oatly and thought this was interesting:

How Oatly chose cash over brand
When Blackstone bought 10% of Oatly, it wasn't the first time they got a controversial shareholder. In 2016, China Resources had the same effect on consumers.

Not so environmentally friendly after all!

I have asked the question of Oatly on twitter.....see what happens!

The vegan brigade don’t seem to have any understanding that big business is behind a lot of the processed imported food they consider so “environmentally friendly“.

Absolutely, I know someone who has done several trips to foreign hell holes with medicine san frontier and save the children where their goats and the odd cow are their staple forms of nutrition.
He finds its quite ironic that the people who claim to be saving the planet are lining the pockets of the global elite.

Meanwhile, The Grocer has summed up nicely an opinion on the sick advertising campaign.

Oatly’s ‘Help Dad’ ad is nasty, sneering… and wrong about dairy
The ad exploits that crude Greta Thunberg-style positioning of all older people as planet-thrashers and all young people as planetary saviours, says Joanna Blythman, food journalist and author of Swallow This
