[Politics] No point crying over spilt milk?

[Dr Q]

Not sure chinless wonders trainers are very vegan friendly?

 

[hart's shirt]

I don't remember Van Gogh being after my milk. I very rarely have any in the fridge anyway so maybe I didn't notice.

He probably didn't have the art to ask you.

I'd be interested to understand what echo chamber they inhabit that makes them think this might have any kind of positive impact. On (recycled) paper I should probably be sympathetic - lefty liberal, Guardian reading, have voted Green, don't find muesli offensive, have a beard - but they somehow manage to be very difficult to find any atom of sympathy with.

I tick every one of your boxes too, other than that I have never voted Green, but I think this is appalling. I know it was a different group/issue, but the same with the tomato soup/Van Gogh incident at the National Gallery yesterday.

It’s just pure vandalism and I think does their cause(s) more harm than good.

I’ll never give up my meat and dairy consumption.

I expect I wont be alone.

 

[Bozza]

When I do my shopping next week, I'm going to steam into the non-dairy milk section and pour as much oat and soya milk onto the floor as I can get away with.

An eye for an eye and all that...

I’m heading for the milk shakes see if I can get away with just drinking them without paying

Yep I agree, totally endorse people's right to protest but this garners no support or sympathy from me.

Worse though, it the missed chance for a pun from the OP. Shirley is should me 'no pint crying . . . . ."

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Strange protest when Waitrose do sell vegan milk.
The cows have already given their milk, the calves already separated from the mothers.

Are you suggesting that this may be an ill-considered, futile and, frankly, offensive 'protest'?

Still, it has to be better than doing nothing, innit?

I am going to poke myself in the eye in solidarity.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Oh my god

The smell of that the next day

Same as the previous day and the one after, I'll wager.

Oh, you meant the supermarket.

You're right! I didn't take the opportunity to really milk it.

Udder times it would have been fine but today it made me feel quite sour.

 

[portslade seagull]

I'm sure I read something from the farmers Union that advised to make a pint of milk uses 8ltrs of water, the equivalent alternative that people now use needs 260lts of water to produce the same amount. Hardly saving the planet

I then propose the simple answer is to drink beer, for every pint of beer it ONLY takes 5 pints of water.

Prooobably not a completely impartial source then?

 

[Taybha]

Kinel,you can just picture these Herbert's at the breakfast table on a Sunday morning laughing and joking about how they saved the planet on Saturday then Tarquin raises the killer fact which kills the mood! "Ummm wow man we've run out of milk"

I'm not sure vegans are bothered about saving the planet, more just the animals.

I imagine saving the planet is a key motivator for many vegans. That's precisely why I limit meat and dairy consumption.

I agree there is overlap but ER haven't claimed the milk disposal is their campaign.

The two are inseparable.
