Indian food might not contain meat but it's no less healthy than burgers etc there's so much ghee and lots of it is fried however it really is very tasty. I'd happily go vegetarian if that was on offer but I reckon I'd have a coronary in the first few weeks.

I could eat a 100% carnivore diet, and it is still all going to source energy at the level of plants, or even below plants as we think of themNot sure you are right there Pete, one or two of those sea creatures are carnivores
I say bring it on
I just love the fact that we have so much science and statistic available today that cost someone real money to investigate and publish, and a silly fecker like me (us??
) can come along and blow it all up with a couple of sentencesSorry OP, as you all were
What the silly fekkers can't understand, is that eating animals that have lived on vegetation, is just eating vegetation that has been put into a "piggy bank"...as is eating the likes of pig meat that has utilised and stored waste or otherwise thrown away foods.

Iv'e been trying to breed Traditional Free range poultry for the last few years that taste like grass.
Further more.
It is a piggy bank that pays good interest in so many ways...including encouraging more vegetation to grow.

so, just eating my breakfast, porridge with blueberries in it, does that mean I eat a plant based diet? Tea today and yesterday kedgeree, tomorrow probably sausage & mash, then a beef stew for the rest of the week.

I am absolutely honest with my doctor, sometimes I have a glass, sometimes a glass and half
Interesting tit bit from someone usually more clued up than myself, our new "improved" red tractor organisation are having informal discussions on suspending assured status for a min 2 years from any farmer found to have spread sludge on their land that is subsequently found to be "contaminated", seems not all sewage plants are quite as particular at times as they could be.

I don't get it either, grow plants and cash in, or appeal to the reformed vegan meat eaters and cash in

agreed but its the way vegan / vegetarian food is being promoted by lies and half truths and "being better for the planet " bllox ,(says independant who ?) and to echo the link above , sold in a non recyclable plastic packet full of palm oil and salt , so it all smells as marketing by big industry / shareholders and hoodwinking buyers into feeling good and the lie of saving the planet

I remember our old neighbour,bit of a cattle dealer,who liked a proper drink probably 1 or 2 bottles of Whisky/day.He was always calling to see my parents and,one morning, he asked my mother he had been called to the GP for a health check.My mother replied they will probably check his heart ,lungs and give him the once over and ask a few questions. He called round a couple of days later to say he had been.He said to my mother that what she had told him was correct and they also asked him how much he drank.He told my Mum that he said to the GP " I have a glass of Whisky a day " My Mother said that's not true and he replied "Yes it is but I didn't tell him how many times I filled it !!!!!"
I was there at the time and I laughed till I cried.He was a canny old bu##er.

If plant based alternative foods are so popular with the public why is at least one major retailer currently running an ad campaign that they are cutting the prices of such goods?

one major retailer is very careful about palm oil contents of foods and its sustainability , noticeable they dont advertise the vegi foods or stock many either
Hugely different, same with any freshly prepared food using good ingredients.
Very different from factory processed "food"
Ah so the farmer is to be held accountable for the contamination of the sludge and not the water company? "Interesting" concept.
I think it's clear that the margins on these things are already falling alarmingly. In spite all of the scandalous advertising they simply aren't shifting it like they assumed they would. Of course, it may be that the punters are simply buying actual vegetables rather than processed slop but hey, who gives a toss?
