Western Vegans pricing Bolivians out of their staple diet, driving poverty

[8ball]

Vegans always bite at the jokes though.

Maybe they're hungry, I dunno.

I believe editor is still chained to his cheese addiction so it doesn't count in his case.

What's quinoa actually like, anyway (I only tried bulgar wheat for the first time this year)?

Mike Tyson is vegan, I wouldn't want to be calling him "weak" to his face

That skinny Brad Pitt got away with sleeping with his wife though.

I'm not a vegan. Never have been. But the difference is that I don't look down at vegans because of their dietary choices, neither do I post up a load of ignorant shite (sorry, "jokes") about them all being weak and feeble.

It's all photoshop.

Is what I thought. Cheese-eating veggie with leather-wearing proclivities if memory serves. Not that I have an exensive database.

No, you look down on people for a whole host of other reasons.

Is there an actual relevant point to this weird stalky personal stuff?

No, you look down on people for a whole host of other reasons.

Ah, you're now hoping to deflect your feeble argument by going for the full-on ad hominem approach instead. How veh tiresome.

It's hardly weird or stalky - bees' post gave the impression he thought youwere a vegan.

Oh, more moral superiority - well done.

You seem hellbent on trying to stir up a nasty personal argument with your comment earlier. Not playing ball sorry.

Is it naptime?

Globalization bites everyone in the ass eventually.

The next act in this will be that Canadian farmers will decide it would make a good crop for their climate there will be a glut of it on the market. That's still not good news for the Bolivians because they won't be able to compete to produce it at that price.

We currently produce 7.6% of the world's soy crop.

You really are trying to be offensive today. Please stop and keep the thread on topic.

There are a lot of perfectly normal vegans raising normal kids who arnt nutters.

But once you've met squirrel and his mates in the vegbollah dolphin foe gras starts to seem attractive.

Liquid LSD?

The "all vegans are weak" line is such a tired, boring old cliché. I thought people here were usually smarter then that.

tbh its all the meat and cute furry animals we eaten

its made uz dumbzer

 

[Pingu]

i only know one vegan and she is ok.a bit preachy but knows when to give up.

has nice norks too

i have no idea if she is a representative sample

I'm really not - I'm happy to stay on topic but I think you're being a bit oversensitive today - if you read it in a different mood later I think you might read less into it. Anyway, 'tone' is quite hard to read on t'internet but that wasn't my intention.

Back on topic , given the thrust of the article I would expect the report to address the question of what proportion of the rise in demand is down to vegans specifically, but this isn't even addressed.

 

[ddraig]

I just love food too much. It's one of lifes great pleasures. The idea of restricting it, having less tastes, textures, smells and so on simply dosen't compute.

to you, so maybe it is you who is ridiculous not being able to think outside your narrow 'values'

Impressive amount of vitriol from some vegans in this thread,


Quite where you get the energy from I don't know

Vegan bashing is niether big or clever But it is fun

It's not fair to pick on those too weak to fight back.

I hear adding bacon does wonders for it.

Ah, the vegan boxers and the vegan athletes - the shock troops of offended veganism - I'm terrified.

That's a (sort of) relief - I saw a pic of him lately and thought he had cancer or something.

grow the fuck up and take a look at yourselves
if this amuses you you need to get a grip
it's not much different from pathetic ignorant abusive playground bullshit

 

[TruXta]

How predictable that this should turn into a vegans vs. cow-lovers bunfight.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Yep, that's exactly it.

You twat

You really are a rather sensitive flower when it comes to this.

Oh course what can you expect we are moral degenerates who love the taste of murder .

Oh I'm sorry do you feel persecuted for your optional changes you have made to your diet..


*points to first world problems thread*

 

[ddraig]

why does it not compute then?

Yep, that's exactly it.

You twat

that is your problem no?
and what is funny about it?

It's like a comfy old pair of shoes.

my family are vegans and perfectly healthy so yes it does piss me off

and you area tedious boring narrow minded knob when it comes to this

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

why does it not compute then?

Because, as I said, I love food too much. It's a great source of pleasure. To suggest that is somehow narrow minded or shallow is ridiculous.

well you're wrong on nearly every thread that doesn't involve gun wanking so wouldn't expect anything more.
others...
