I genuinely do not think I’ve gone a day of my life without eating meat.

Certainly from the age of 3-4.

Give it a go, it's easier than you think and some of the alternatives taste better!

Are you not concerned the toll that will have on your health?

No I am in perfect health thanks.

I limit red meat to no more than 3-4 times a week.

The secret is exercise.

What on earth keeps attracting you back to this vegan thread?

It would be like me keep going on the NFL thread and saying “hi, me again, still don’t like American football

Are you just going to come on here periodically to let everyone know how much meet you eat? Very odd.

Meat or meet?

oh wow, that must have made you so happy to pick that one up.

Hmm ..... I don't know how old you are but that's going to catch up with you in later life eating meat every day. You may feel in perfect health but you can't tell what's brewing inside of you.

How do you know you have a meat eater coming for dinner? Don’t worry, they will tell you.

Why did the meat eater cross the road? To tell everyone they are a meat eater.

Yes and no.

BK have never claimed it to be vegan because it is cooked on the same griddle as regular burgers and, as such, there would be come cross-contamination of meat fats. The same is true of the Impossible Whopper in the US. BK have been open about this from the outset.

As such, if you are a true vegan or veggie, it may not be for you but for those looking to cut down on meat, it should be a decent alternative and reviews suggest you may not know, if you didn't know.

It's true it has made the news, but that seems a little unfair on BK who have never tried to hide the cooking process. I guess it comes down to how kitchens are already configured - hopefully in time they do find a way to cook them away from the meat.

For me the big junk food chains are not anywhere vegans would want to eat anyway, you certainly won't see me heading into KFC for their vegan burger. That said it does expose omni's who would not even consider eating vegan food to a product that hasn't required the death of animal to produce. I think this is a good way of helping people transition and break down the barriers that many people think prevent them from accepting veganism. So whilst I'll not help fund these burger chains I am glad that their customers now have the opportunity to broaden their food horizons and realise that it is still possible to enjoy a burger without the cruelty.

Watching the NFL coverage on gamepads, BK have been heavily pushing their Impossible Burger on the ad breaks and this pleased me greatly.

question for vegans: would you eat produce fertilised with animal by product?

Are you thinking of that recent survey where 42,000 people were observed over 18 years? It found that vegetarians had a 0.7% lower chance of heart disease/strokes than non-vegetarians. But they did say they weren't linking cause and effect - there is every chance that the vegetarian advantage could be because of other factors like vegetarians making extra effort in other health actions, eg. exercise.

That’s still very high. There a multitude of medical evidence that shows that meat, and especially red meat, is linked to a range of diseases, heightens your risk of heart disease, stroke, certain types of cancers and diabetes.

Also important to mention, you can’t out train a bad diet.

Perhaps he is attracted to vegans, I know that I am one of at least two that post on the NFL thread, my smoked vegan hotdogs will be all ready for Sundays two big Championship games.

Sorry did you say you dont like NFL, weirdo, I watch it 3-4 times a week.

But by how much? Can you link a statistical analysis? The one I referred to said that meat eaters had 18% more chance than vegetarians of developing heart disease; that was accurate but selective use of statistics, but what it actually meant was that meat eaters had about 6% chance of developing heart disease, vegetarians about 5% chance, over an 18 year period. (And it ignored the chance of having a stroke which was in the meat eaters' favour, by a smaller amount.) If you have a relatively small chance of getting an illness, how much is it worth giving up something you enjoy to make that small chance slightly smaller?

I do actually quite like it, but that wouldn't have served the point I was making.

There’s some interesting articles and research cited here -> https://www.vivahealth.org.uk/veganhealth/dont-feed-cancer

You say it’s ‘relatively small’, but the top causes of death in the western world —heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson’s, high blood pressure etc. have all been linked to the consumption of meats. All of the above can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. The medical and scientific consensus on this, eat a more whole foods diet and eat less meat.

At the end of the day, we’re not children. We can listen to the medical consensus and try and eat healthier by eating more grains, pulses etc or ignore it and risk the diseases linked with the consumption of meat. Personally, I don’t think chomping down on a steak everyday because it ‘tastes nice’ is worth the risk of dying younger than I would if I had made better lifestyle choices. And that’s not even mentionIng the ethical or environmental ramifications.

I adventurously went out on a limb to try the vegan pizza on offer at ASDA today, just in case there is something in this vegan foodie lifestyle. My word, it was truly revolting. Bad enough to make anyone vegan curious grab a burger to take away the taste and risk a firestorm on NSC.

I bought soy milk for the first time ever today.

Ooooooh get me!
