It has been well talked about on another thread

I really don't understand the hate on this advert, and I think the fuss being made about it plays into their hands.

We should be challenging the hypocrisy of veganism, not complaining that they are 'demonising meat'.

Vegans are the most 'species-ist' of all, they just can't see it. Apophacy at its finest.

Business advertising a new/differing product range.... this is supposed to be news? Surely the presenter in the video has a point in some ways?

He does, I think it's the only time I've ever been able to watch an entire EarthlingEd video.

Can't believe the NFU have been suckered into this.

This week, “ Daddy I don’t like meat anymore ”.
Next week, “Daddy , can we stop for a McD’s?”

I see the tesco plant chef range use a lot of palm oil ,
Growing palm oil is a great use of defrosted rainforest land
And of course burn all that oil shipping it half way around the world ,
Cheers Tesco

I see soya and pea and bean concentrate in main sauce of protien, do we in the UK produce food quality beans/peas or are they imported?

In my day you ate what was put in front of you, which was usually ham or pork pie.
My parents wouldn't have gone out of their way to pander to the whims of a 5 year old.
I saw the advert and thought the country is well and truly down the pan on many levels.
No wonder we can't get Brexit through parliament.

Most of the stuff in Tescos is over packaged processed junk anyway. All you really need are the basics. I won't be shopping there any more.

Had partridge for dinner. Apples out the orchard, potatoes out the garden. Splendid. Can live on £20 a week.

We produce peas for human consumption both fresh and frozen, and for canning. We produce beans for human consumption abroad which are ground and blended into flour.

It's worth considering that beans contain some quite harmful substances that must be destroyed by heating before they can be eaten by animals or humans. They do not provide the same essential amino acids and vitamins as you will find in meat. Beans aren't a decent substitute for meat.

Fear not, I've eaten more raw beans than you could shake a stick at, over 55 years ago..............

Ironic, all the baked beans have to be imported from Canada. Bit of a shame really.

Tesco couldn't give 'a monkey's' about saving the planet - it's just another way they see of getting money out of their gullible customers.

The fact about using palm oil and how it is produced is hypocritically swept under the carpet in the name of higher sales and profit.

We won't be shopping in Tesco again.

Will that effect the sales of vegan food or the meat sales side of tesco s business,
I will leave you to ponder over that

It has nothing to do with effecting anything, other than salving my own conscience.
I don't think Tesco will be calling to ask us why we've stopped coming. But the small local shops might appreciate the turn.
We buy vegan foods all the time anyway, it goes really well with meat.

This is the strange thing to me. Most true vegetarians/vegans I know would much prefer to cook from scratch using basic ingredients at a fraction of the price than buy processed foods.

Shows how this is aimed at "fashion vegans" more than anything else.
