Re: Sunday lunch for Vegans?

For the life of me I can't imagine what it would be like to become a vegan or even a vegetarian. I consider it to be a fate worse than death. I have been cooking seriously for the last 65 years and I can't think of a single entrée in my cook book that is vegetarian. I, of course, make salads and various side-dishes but they are designed to be served with meat/fish/poultry as the main dish.
I get more protein from a medium sized steak than I would from 8 or 10 baked potatoes. Don't get me wrong, I like baked potatoes but I can't imagine eating 8 or 10 of them in a single sitting. In any event I love the feeling of being sated by a good cut of beef. And let's not forget the mouth-watering aroma of a baked ham or prime rib. Yummy !

My children were vegetarian until two decided to go vegan, their children are also. They are all very healthy and reaching all appropriate milestones as they grow.
Just to add I never try to influence anyone, decisions must come from yourself else they will not last.
It is possible that you still have an appendix Xandra, I believe the appendix, like tonsils, do grow back sometime after removal.
And you state that you don't try to influence anyone, but by example, weren't you influenced by your vegetarian mother, and your children have been influenced by your example which proves the theory that it's 'nurture' that defines our lives and not nature.....

Re: Sunday lunch for Vegans?

An ethical vegan who alleges he was sacked because of his views on animal products has won a landmark case.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46385597

At the tribunal in Norwich on Friday, Judge Robin Postle ruled ethical veganism satisfies the tests required and is therefore protected under the Equality Act 2010, saying it was "important" and "worthy" of respect in a democratic society.

Whatever.

The judge never stated his own ethical preferences/prejudices,
Surely before ruling on a subject he/she should declare their
interests?

Re: Sunday lunch for Vegans?

What did he expect.

Jordi Casamitjana says he was sacked by the League Against Cruel Sports after disclosing it invested pension funds in firms involved in animal testing.

He claims he was discriminated against, and the tribunal will now decide if veganism should be protected in law.

The League Against Cruel Sports says he was dismissed for gross misconduct.
The League Against Cruel Sports claims he was sacked for "gross misconduct" and that linking the decision to his veganism was "factually wrong". Which is how I see it, a breach of confidentiality.

I think his being a vegan was irrelevant in this case, but I do think he was right in disclosing that The League Against Cruel Sports had invested pension funds in companies engaged in animal testing. Many supporters of LACS would be horrified by this, unethical at the very least.
