Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

The only comment I saw was that the pie shop guy thought it was silly that people wanting the vegan pie would have to go to Customer Services.
Colleague from Melton agrees this is marketing silliness.
Maybe there was some whingeing on a local Facebook group or something that was picked up on.

And I reckon both of them might like to try the pie.

I tried a "Vork" pie.
If it's like that you'll only try it once.
Tbf the pastry was excellent, but that only amplified the disappointment at the contents.

One of my favourite vegan cafes is there! Last year a vegan pie won the best pie at a contest hosted by the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association and there were no riots afaia. It is a Tory stronghold though so I guess some of the townsfolk might have been upset!

I was behind a middle aged woman, who looked clever enough to know better, in a queue who said she wouldn't have a hot chocolate as it had milk in it and she was vegetarianMaybe I've missed something somewhere
She was obvs making shit up to avoid having a hot chocolate...
Eta forgot to say ..she also is clearly clueless as to vegetarianism vs veganism. So she probably isnt either.
A lot of recent talk (previous page especially) of Quorn, TVP and such like.
I just consider any "imitation meat" products (eg most Linda McCartney meals, and all sorts of others) as things I don't and won't touch.
I'm just a veggie, not vegan, so my consistency levels are close to zero and I don't care, but I'm just not interested in meat at all -- either real meat or imitation!
It's always puzzled me, the above. But I suppose having always been vegetarian (brought up as one from birth, unusual at my age) has a lot to do with it.

Unless she was one of the pedantic veggie old guard (vegetarians did not originally allow milk or eggs, hence the lacto and ovo prefixes that were in use for a time).

Look out, he's got a gnu!
The wife is the same, she doesn't like the blood and flesh aspect of meat so finds trying to mimic it just as disgusting.
@Artaxerses : I think your missus and me must be much in the minority of veggies and vegans ..... so many go for the imitation stuff!

I usually have no issue whatsoever with vegan products using descriptions traditionally associated with meat products (veggie burger, vegan sausage roll, etc...), but the other day I heard on the radio an ad for one of the food/ sandwich high street chains, can't remember which one, advertising their new "vegan tuna" wrap.

Me also except for the following thought process that occurs every 5pm:
Hmm. They WILL insist on wanting something for dinner. Potatoes. Yep. Veggies. Yep. But what about protein?

Ah! Linda McCartney Extra Meatylicious guaranteed to bleed deliciously veiny fake steaks. Yep. That'll do.
I expect they'll want to eat again tomorrow. sigh Better replace these at the supermarket tomorrow.

I‘ll never understand why people are puzzled by this. Some are vegetarians because among other things they genuinely don’t like the taste of meat, but many don’t eat meat for purely ethical reasons even though they love the taste. The only problem with fake meat products is that they taste crap. As soon as someone comes up with a convincing version of “fake meat” I’ll never eat real meat again.

Yes, admittedly, I am not having to square the circle of being a vegetarian who has to provide for non-vegetarian tastes, so my stand on this is utterly self-indulgent...

Unless it's being discussed elsewhere, I'm surprised this fairly significant news regarding veganism has not been posted yet...
Still few details about the actual sacking and no ruling yet either, but I wonder what the legal implications of this ruling will be. I guess it means vegan employees will enjoy some protection if they refuse, for instance, to handle meat products as part of their job?
Ethical veganism is philosophical belief, tribunal rules
Ethical vegan Jordi Casamitjana is "extremely happy" with a tribunal's ruling his belief is protected in law.

I've been following that man's case for a little while.
Right now, I'd need more time to digest the judgement -- but given the details of what Mr Casamitjana believes, this case could be pretty damned significant .....

It's always silly this kicking off about vegan stuff being confused with its meat counterpart anyway. If that was actually happening then it would be a massive fail on the part of the vegan food producer, they obviously actively want consumers to spot the difference

You certainly would with those 'Vork' pies, or people would be calling the Food Standards people.

They do several kinds. Some are really good, but they don't benefit from being sold as veggie pork pies.
