Don't you lot like BURGERS?




f***ing GAYS.

Quorn Southern Style burgers are ace, as are their burger patties. Even chAvSDA does a half decent veggie burger, although their veggie mince is terrible.

Fancy a shag jonnyboy... or are you too busy suckin' on some real meat?

But they are animal products. I can see that there really is no point arguing against ill-informed so called vegetarians. I will state my case for one last time. There is no such thing as a vegetarian. You are either vegan or you are a carnivore. There can be no honest middle ground.

Do you know nibble you do talk some total shite at times don't you.

Mars bars get veggie status back

Mars has abandoned plans to use animal products in its chocolate, and has apologised to "upset" vegetarians

The firm had said it would change the whey used in some of its products from a vegetarian source to one with traces of the animal enzyme, rennet.

The Vegetarian Society organised a campaign against the move, asking members to voice their concerns to parent company Masterfoods.

Mars said it became "very clear, very quickly" that it had made a mistake.

In just one week, more than 6,000 people bombarded the company, which produces the Mars, Snickers, Maltesers and Galaxy brands, with phone and e-mail complaints.

Forty MPs also signed a petition to voice their opposition.

Fiona Dawson, managing director of Mars UK, said the company had listened to customers and decided to reverse its decision.

"The consumer is our boss and we had lots of feedback from consumers who were unhappy about the change," Ms Dawson said.

"It became very clear, very quickly that we had made a mistake, for which I am sorry.

"There are three million vegetarians in the UK and not only did we disappoint them, but we upset a lot of the consumers."

'Principled decision'
The Vegetarian Society had called the move by Mars "incomprehensible" and "a backward step" at a time when consumers were increasingly concerned about "the provenance of their food".

Mars replied that, by admitting its products were no longer suitable for "extremely strict vegetarians", it was making a "principled decision". Now it insists it will begin changing its recipes back immediately.

Dr Annette Pinner, chief executive of the Vegetarian Society, said she was pleased Mars had been "honest enough" to admit it had "made a mistake".

"A Masterfoods representative has made contact with us and we are very pleased that they now recognise the importance of integrity to all their customers, especially vegetarians," she added.

Rennet is extracted from calves' stomachs and was to have been used in the ice cream versions of all Masterfoods' bars too.

No I do see your point, just that the way I understand the whole (moral) idea of vegetarianism is not to eat the flesh of any animal that has been killed for the purpose of human consumption - chickens lay eggs and cows produce milk anyway and it doesn't hurt them, so it is completely different from eating physical flesh.

Cows produce milk from having calves. In a dairy herd only the heifers are kept. Bullocks are neutered and sold on to be raised for beef.
