Vegans

I havent eaten any meat or fish in about 8 years. Increased my veg, fuut, pulses etc intake as a result and have felt far healthier as a result. More or less Vegan at this stage. Still occasionally will have something with milk or eggs in it as ut can be difficult to avoid sometimes.

Wouldn't preach to anyone mind you, each to their own.
I believe the brewing industry utilize fish swim bladders in filtering some of their products, and of course, animal products for shoes and belts and coats and what not. Then there's the, erm, elephant in the room, no not classic snooker where the balls were ivory, but the use of animal testing for genuinely medicinal purposes, then the cosmetic industry. And them chimps didn't always make it back from space. Bit of a hot topic this one. Well, if you delve deep enough.
 
What I don't get is how they happily pick on the unborn babies of plants and trees and deny them any life. If they were truly committed extremists they would survive sucking minerals. Each to their own though.
 

Mate of mine went vegan a few years back. He promised to not turn into one of the preachy ones.
That lasted all of 3 months before his Facebook became a hotbed of reposted YouTube veganism propaganda with as much research and authenticity behind them as your average episode of 'Ancient Aliens'.

He was deffo bullied into it by his older sister who is a pure vegan aggro merchant. She refused to turn up at family Christmas dinner if there was a "carcass on the table" and hates vegetarians more than meat eaters. She calls them "fence sitting weaklings" :lol:

He's been at it for about 4 years and I'm still convinced he'll break at some point. He has his occasional slip ups when drunk (Usually chocolate or dairy based)
and has had to revert to just being a veggie when on holiday (Being vegan in Spain and Portugal is not as easy as over here) and I know he loves getting that cheese license for a week :lol:
 

I've been mainly vegan so far today?

I had an apple and banana for lunch.

Although I've had milk in my coffee so not totally vegan.

And I'm having chicken for my tea so definitely not going to make it all day being vegan.

In my defense, the chicken was dead when I found it (in Aldi) so really I'm just recycling.

Save the planet!!
 
In my previous incarnation as head chef at a well known establishment I had the dubious honour of hosting the Vegan Society's annual knees up and jamboree, and was 'forcefully invited' to display my culinary prowess by providing vegan food for all the participants, speakers, stall holders and 'vegan cooks'.
Most of the show food wasn't that bad once the politics were taken out, but at the end of the event there was an award for best food, which obviously I won. This sent the Millie Tants into apoplexy as I'd spent all day telling them I was having Calve's liver for my tea and was, in fact, a well renowned barbarian carnivore famous for rack of lamb, braised beef in guinness and venison with juniper and dubbonet I'd done for Brenda some time before.
A hearty success I thought 👍

Doesn't corn fed chicken count?
