The truth about Vegans

[Av Gorritt]

After all the foregoing , I have to make the point that some supermarkets do a very bad job of selling meat . As a case in point I had a pack of "thick link pork sausages " last week . They were absolutely disgraceful , typical commercialised white paste perfectly symmetrical square ended entities - I won't even call them sausages . And I see the sort of pigs going in to the lairage every Sunday , that somebody - probably out East has reared , I wonder just how in goodness name the supermarket can have the face to turn them into , and sell such rubbish . The supermarket ? MORRISONS - they should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves . I won't be buying there again that's for sure ! Thinking about it further , could it be possible that they only sell what people want to buy ?

So do vegans like animals or not??
Do they like animals "at all" as pets, in the wild etc .
What a dull world without any animals .

I’m seriously considering not paying my tv licence next year for the bias dross they put on

I’m not going to I refused to pay it for it last year then my girlfriends nanna payed for it In case we got arrested all we watch is Netflix and the odd programme on 3 and 4

But for what it costs you could have Netflix and amazon prime for a year and if you or your other half buy stuff off amazon it soon pays for itself just with the free postage over a year

I believe the high up PETA are very open about they’re end goal of no domestic animals. They are also against human intervention - endangered species should just be left to become extinct.

I had some leaflets with begging letter come through the door from PETA .
I'm really not a fan but decided they'd gone to the trouble of sending them out so the least I could do was send them a little donation back.
So I collected a small semi sloppy/crusty dog turd from my lawn and posted it .

They posted a load of shite to me so I posted some back to them.

I was in a M&S Food store yesterday

M&S have really caught the 'vegan trend'

On a lot of the fresh food shelves, the logo and packaging was themed 'Plant Food' and they had a plethora of all things plant based/vegan/vegetarian to try to tempt the consumer away from 'traditional' meat based dishes and cuts of meat

Very bold 'PLANT FOOD' based promotions too, with an in-store food tasting session going on.

'On trend' and people were buying it too, looking on the conveyor belts at the tills

The supermarkets are very quick to get onside with trends and public opinion

Quite worrysome

How many of the buyers had a voucher for £1 off a container sent to them to get them to buy it, though?

I had one, and when last in a M&S foodhall I looked at the "plant" range, pack sizes, contents, etc - and then at the price.
Even with a quid off it's a rip off!

I'm all for people eating their vegetables, and can see a purpose in making easily cooked containers (not very full) of vegetables that use up miss-shapes and wonkies, but legs are being pulled on these sorts of ventures.

And the flicking mother in law who lives on the new forest, she won’t buy meat from the local farm shop in her village cos she hates the thought that she might have seen the poor pig / cow grazing on the common land in front of her house. No problem with meat from Tesco’s though!

Sounds frustrating but at least she is buying some meat somewhere !

The crazy thing is it's cheaper to eat expensive meat than some of these vegan meals.....despite vegetables being super cheap.

I also wonder how many of these vegans eat milk chocolate.

My God daughter doesn't, she eats Vegan chocolate - Dairy Milk is a no-no

Her Vegan chocolate cakes are to die for, she's a very good cook and baker of cakes

Guilt tripping people into paying more for less, following the money!

Guilt tripping people into paying more for less, following the money!

Is that a spin off from the social engineering forces that abound at the present time,manipulating society towards veganism.

Thank you for posting that JJT, it really is interesting and rebuts the vegans claims in simple to understand terms.
Can people without a Facebook account read the link?

That is exactly the kind of write up the NFU should be getting spread all over social media and the papers.

BBC Breakfastime had an item on non dairy milk today. Interview with a family who buy almond milk, lactose free and proper milk.

Then they interviewed a nutritionist who said that young people need the calcium, vitamins and iodine that is in milk, but in few other foods. She also pointed out that Almond milk uses loads of water and has high air miles & carbon footprint as it's imported from California.

Overall, it came across as a very pro milk report

Midlands today redemeed themselves tonight, with a good piece interviewing a sheep farmer and a dairy farmer. They also pointed out the air miles and water use in almond milk and avocados
