Can we all become veggies?

[Triggaaar]

I'm sure everyone would and I like to think that this country is in the forefront of such aims.

I expect we are, but that's also a depressing reminder how far behind a lot of the world are. It's not the sort of thing that's easy to fix on your own.

Meat is murder.

Meat is murder

I wonder how many non meat eaters let their cats roam the neighbourhood killing birds and rodents for fun

 

[Sussex Nomad]

If I took meat out of my cat's diet, the little sod would just go out and catch his own, as he does several times a week anyway.

Mine are indoor cats so limited to the odd moth or fly

I've not heard of either of these - it's difficult to keep up with all the veggie burgers hitting the market now and after the incredible success of the Beyond Meat IPO last week, there's bound to be a lot more!

In fact - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-hits-corporate-america-after-beyond-meat-ipo

I look forward to trying the Impossible Whopper...

If we weren't meant to eat farmed animals, why make them taste so good?
Look, each to their own and maybe if they come up with some meat alternative that actually tasted liked meat, I would be more receptive to the idea.
However, it seems that the cost of some of these products are restrictive.....I'll leave it to the bunny huggers(bunny taste like chicken!)

I had an Impossible Burger in San Francisco last year. It was good, but mine didn't seem to "bleed" in the way it should. Maybe v2.0 will be better.

We ate at Woods in Worthing over the weekend and one of the veggie options turned out to be a Moving Mountains burger. It was very good.

I went to Honest Burger a few weeks ago and they use the "Beyond Burger". It was really good!

I would, but I can't afford it. went veggie for a while, but shopping cost went soaring.

That's akin to the American stand up comic who said "It's not the paedophiles fault, it's the kids fault for being so damn sexy"

How can you get a link between eating animals and abusing kids? What is wrong with you?

Possibly the most tasteless joke I have ever seen on here.

I'm surprised at that.

I'm amazed at the cost of meat/fish when we buy it, and am thankful we only need 9-y-o boy quantities!

Agreed, I was quite astonished to see someone say it is more expensive to be a non meat eater.

I find this hard to believe.

Stand up gag, not one of mine

It is if you treat it like most traditional meat eaters. They go out and buy ‘replacement bacon’, ‘replacement steak’, ‘replacement burgers’ etc. All of these fairly new meat alternatives ARE expensive. Fake chicken nuggets costs way more than a bag of value chicken nuggets. So in a regard I fully understand. Most veggies don’t shop like that.

Frankly, if you try and go veggie/vegan by cooking the same food you always have, but with fake meat substitutes, you’ll be bitterly disappointed. You need to re-do your ‘standard meals’ from the ground up.

Seriously? Linda Mac's stuff is almost always on offer - £1 for 6 sausages, £1 for two pies. Quorn do loads of 3 for £5 offers on loads of their stuff.

No thanks

I love cooking, it is one of my favourite things to do. It will be strange concocting a recipe without meat. But I'll give it a go.

I like veggies but much prefer meat !!!

It`s up to everyone to make a decision for themselves. We could all become veggies if we wanted to. We are told we would all be healthier if we didn`t eat as much sugar/salt/red meat etc etc as well as drinking water instead of Beer or wine.

We could all be healthier if we did more exercise.

I hate being told what I should and shouldn`t be eating/drinking.

Were you consuming nothing but Fabergé eggs?
