Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

Possibly ok diet wise. Whether that kind if animal is likely to be happy being kept as a pet is also up for debate.

McDonald's are apparently releasing a vegan burger in Finland and Sweden following a successful trial:

McDonald’s is rolling out its first vegan burger in the Nordics – here’s how it tastes

 

[mojo pixy]

Probably fair to say that McDonalds being what it is, nothing they sell can ever really be vegan as such, but can probably attain plant-based status at best.

That fox should be outdoors grubbing up worms and beetles.

Put warnings on egg boxes, says Chris Packham

He added that he did not blame farmers for poor animal welfare because it was being driven by demand for cheap food and ignorance about its origins. He criticised the “curious moral divide” in attitudes to animal welfare at zoos and farms. “What’s the difference between a cow and a zebra?” he said. “You couldn't keep a zebra in those conditions because you’d be shut down within a week.”

Was it any good?

...or were you assaulted by hordes of "angry vegans"?

New vegan burgers. I'd quite like to try one. Although I think burgers that rare are a bit weird.

Impossible Foods

Meatatarian Clarkson tasted one last year and wasn't too critical of it...

Dead man walking - is he on anyone's death watch list ?

Bloody impossible burger is wheat based. It's the Beyond Burger I'm desperate to try - a supposedly really meaty burger based on pea protein. Some other interesting pea protein stuff in New Zealand. None of these new interesting plant meats seem to make it here though, probably because quorn has block booked all supermarket freezers.

Having not tasted meat or poultry for 37 years, realistic burgers do not appeal.
To be fair, I probably only ever ate burgers a handful of times in the previous 21 years.
I was in Tesco earlier looking for Cauldron sausages and I knew to ignore the Linda McCartney option (I had her sausage rolls only the one time) and I noticed Tesco now do a "meat-style veggie burger" ...

What kind of burger does the long-term non meater go for?
I find a lot of veggie ones feel like you're eating carbs in a bun. Which is cool, but not really the burger thing for me.

The most successful "savouries" I eat are "Mexican style burgers", Cauldron sausages and falafels, and a local producer's nut cutlets.

But I'm not sure quite what the "vegetable quarter pounders" are supposed to be about - even though I eat them - with even more mashed potato and peas ...
I confess I'm a carbaholic o:

Mostly my meals don't have a focus - in the summer I stir-fry veggies, in the winter I stew them.

Seems like you angry vegans are even turning people against going vegan in India.
The myth of the Indian vegetarian nation

What are the most common myths and stereotypes about what Indians eat? The biggest myth, of course, is that India is a largely vegetarian country.

...Taking all this into account, say the researchers, only about 20% of Indians are actually vegetarian - much lower than common claims and stereotypes suggest.

I found this bit particularly interesting

The government data shows that vegetarian households have higher income and consumption - are more affluent than meat-eating households.

lol, really? How did you work that one out?

I found this bit particularly interesting

...and what was it you found particularly interesting about that? For me there wasn't enough meat on dem data bones to draw any meaningful conclusions from it.

Pictures took me back mind. I loved the veggie thali served on a leaf in South India. Sad but not suprised to see they all had plastic bottles of water though.

I'm surprised that none of the forum antis has jumped all over this one yet...

Proof, if it were needed, that vegans are dangerous and angry. Fortunately we don’t allow armed vegans to walk the streets in the UK which has contributed to the lack of vegunnery here and forced angry Brit vegans to rely on rhubarb clubs an tofupults.
