Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

That's shite. I also loathe Sainsbury's for being robbing bastard's and Tesco is just crap.

I used to be near Tesco Leytonstone which was pretty good, they had a shit load of cheap, basic, Indian food and ingredients and we made ourselves fat on cheap frozen samosas when they went on offer for holidays.

Tesco Leytonstone, singles nights on Thursdays when I used to be round there :)
 
I had a vegan Chilli for lunch.

“I woz robbed”

Thought it was going to be a soya bean (texture equivalent).

Next week the pub is doing a swanky six course vegan tasting menu.

Might have to give it a go.
 
ETA: My animal lusting tastebuds might yet be convinced, but this last month I’ve seen no end of tasty looking vegan treats in mags like a Time Out.

I’m sure purists will say that good food is meant to look horrible, like a culinary hair shirt, it can only be good if you’re being punished. But oh my, some recent photos of vegan treats look very, very, bad. Nom. Sign me up. It’s moved on from the plate of gray beans.
 
It's National Vegetarian Week! Time for us to celebrate being marginally less despised by vegans then the rest of you lot. I dunno we're probably just seen as cowards or vanguardists or something.

lol @ "despised" by vegans. Not sure that there is a whole lot of "despising" going on tbh. Most people who now call themselves vegan were once meat eaters or vegetarians.
National Vegetarian Week appears to be a rather low key affair, or perhaps I just haven't noticed. I doesn't appear to have anywhere near the same buzz that the Veganuary campaign had, which I find surprising given that there are supposed to be more vegetarians around than vegans.
 
I guess we just get on with our lives.
I guess so, untroubled by the ethical issues raised by animal agriculture. I imagine that it might be easier to sleep at night when you able to turn a blind eye to the atrocities involved and pretend that they don't exist.

Nice one! :thumbs:

Up to now veganism has been held as a belief but now I feel the argument is shifting. Being vegan is very logical, its healthy, ecological, tasty and doesn’t involve cruelty and suffering to animals. So it is really eating meat that is becoming a belief rather than the norm that everyone takes for granted.

It is great to see so many young people recognising this and deciding to become vegan. Also there is a huge rise in people eating more vegan meals or being flexitarian. My experience is that it is a big jump for a lot of people go vegan overnight. They are not sure how to cook the food and have other family members to consider. Or they just don’t have time or energy to make a big change
 
So because plant agriculture results in the accidental killing and displacement of animals apparently this justifies the intentional mass slaughter that is an integral part of the animal agriculture.

:facepalm:

To be accurate, there's nothing accidental about killing pest animals such as rabbits.

As for the intentional mass slaughter, that is half the story. It comes as part of a package alongside intentional mass breeding.

I didn't say anything about justification. I doubt that rabbits care whether they are being killed to make stew or killed to stop them eating too many crops.
