There is "meat".
If you've nothing constructive to add to a debate...why bother?
Agricultural Matters scares me so I'll ask it here...

Because they say that it does. If you say something often enough, it becomes accepted fact. As said earlier, UK ag really does need to get up to speed with how running a campaign works.
For the first time in recorded history, farmers have competition. It is no longer enough to smirk and say "don't criticise farmers with your mouth full."
Fight fire with fire. Whenever we advertize our beef/hogget, we use the strapline. 'Save the planet: Eat red meat". UK ag should be slapping that on its product. Instead, we have the constant apologizing from the NFU and AHDB.
Meat imo is beef, lamb, chicken, pork etc. If a vegan pie does not contain any of these ingredients then it is not a meat pie. What it contains is something that has been artificially made to look and perhaps taste like meat.

It's hard work if you go onto vegan/animal/environment sites to try and explain farming to these people. The second you so much as question their often bizarre beliefs you can literally feel them foaming at the mouth, rolling on the floor chewing the carpet, then they are vomiting torrents of abuse at you.

Well.
You stick to marketing your meat.
And perhaps others could make a good return flogging ingredients for "meat" to the veggies.
Pedantic idiot.
I don't need to look up anything in relation to what I've written. Thank you for your concern.He needs to look up the definition of meat in the Cambridge dictionary
To be honest they can call their products whatever they like as far as I'm concerned, but what I do object to is being told that their 'meat' is better for the environment than the meat I produce.
I've no problem with a farmer making money selling ingredients for vegan meat, but most of the ingredients wouldn't grow well here, so I'm stuck growing the more traditional types of meat.

Well, that post from Tesco that popped up on my feed last night, which prompted my slightly tipsy ramblings, has led me to read about the nutrients that are in pork, so tomorrow I'm having a couple of nice pork cutlets

Leading on then, tonight's question:
Do any of you lot consciously have meat free days? I'm not talking getting in late and throwing a tin of beans or poached eggs on some toast because of time constraints, are you making meat free changes to your diet on health criteria?

Yes, always have since we were married, although not health or environmental reasons, purely for variety.
Don't consciously have meat free days here, lunch would be meat free most days, dinner hardly ever.

Because you can't make any money out of flogging a bag of chopped broccoli. Take veg, process them and put them into a pie or sausage and hey presto you can charge £2 a pack.

Fair enough for the seller, but why do the vegan and vegetarian brigade try and make a product look like something they are opposed to eating.

To convince more people to buy into their lifestyle maybe? I mean a plate of chopped broccoli isn't all that appetising but put it in a pie and you will sell them to the greggs generation no problem.
