Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

[8ball]

As I stated way back near the beginning of this thread, the snotty attitudes of certain vegans has nothing to do with why I'm not vegan. Can't say I recall anyone else saying otherwise, although doubtless you'll be along to refresh our memories with a quote. Right?

I try not to get things conflated, but it can be tricky at times. Tbf, it *is* kind of the subject of the thread.

I’m still struggling with the NRA analogy...

You don't see a difference between "not being convinced" and "being turned against"? OK.

Maybe andysays can clarify exactly what he meant.

 

[NoXion]

Even we were to accept that as an example, that's exactly one. Hardly "some".

Pretty rich to go on about schoolyard tactics while making a hasty generalisation oneself.

I've eat rabbit, in a stew. They do sell it in supermarkets you know. Or did. I'd probably eat dog too.

Lunch today is a bean burger though.

I’ll pass on the dog. The treatment of them, the lack of hygiene regs and the fact that predator animals tend to taste bad all kind of put me off.

 

[8ball]

Though you can keep the beanburger too. Most veggie burgers I’ve tried have had too much in common with the bread texture wise.

I’ve had the odd decent one, but so many feel like a carb sandwich.

Love falafel though - that seems to work better in terms of textures.

Not sure about the latter clause. But yeah, I mean I'd eat dog, purely as know objection to it as a meat on fluffy wuffy grounds. Levels of cruelty and conditions should ideally inform all my meat choices. I won't eat fras guas (You know what I mean.) But of course I eat fried chicken, bacon all manner of mass produced stuff. I'm cutting down though. For health / variety reasons as much as anything.

Just trying to think if I've eaten any mammalian predators actually. Don't think I have.

 

[NoXion]

I remember beanburgers from when my family (lead by my mum) went through a veggie phase. They're not absolutely terrible, but they're certainly no substitute for the real thing.

 

[xenon]

Sainsburries spicy bean burger. Not bad. No bread required.

 

[xenon]

They are a different thing, not a substitute for a beef burger in my usage.

The thing with a burger is having the
bun and then the fatty, salty protein inside. This is the bit that most of the veggie options I’ve tried seem to miss.

Falafel does things totally differently and works on its own level.

Closest thing I can think of isn’t
a mammal - I had alligator once.

There’s a lot of discussion on the net about why/whether/which meat eating animals taste bad.

 

[NoXion]

I had shark once. I remember it tasting a bit, well, pissy.

Wimpy spicy beanburgers were great. Best things in there aside from the liver and onions.

The Lidl ones are great, they have a crispy coating with whole cumin seeds in it and you get four for a quid fifty.

TBH, I think the meaning of this post is pretty clear to everyone except the WORLD'S ANGRIEST VEGAN

I'm not "turned against going vegan" because it's not something I'm considering, but if it was, then the sort of self-righteous screeching which ddraig is so keen on would be more likely to put me off than to convince me.

 

[8ball]

Yeah, well they don’t want you in their club.

 

[mojo pixy]

yeah, filthy carnist

 

[bemused]

I'd probably eat dog too.

Tastes like lamb - now you know.

I thought it was a white meat?

Well done Lauren. Outstanding work.

But most of the talk I've heard about these Olympics has focused on the curling, the skeleton and those snowboard mentalists.

I have emailed the IOC to urge them to seek humane alternatives to this use of skeletons, and I ask you all to do the same.

Surely not if from a red setter?

Another numpty farmer making baseless accusations yesterday.

The BBC do like to frame this as a battle between farmer and vegans, with the farmers being the victims. Once again I thought JC held his own quite well and the farmer was all over the place...
