That is, in my view, the sum and insubstance of it.

Being veggie/vegan must take away your ability to be logic and make you gullible to media lies....

They haven't got a leg to stand on Besoeker, or should I say......A leg to gnaw on....

If you’ll pardon me for pointing out the obvious - that statement is not very logical!

A bit of perspective comes in useful for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores, don’t you think?

Re: Sunday lunch for Vegans?

I was visiting a local Buddhist Temple (the largest in the southern hemisphere) and in their cafe I had a vegetarian steamed pork bun (Chinese thing). To be honest I could not tell the difference from the real thing even the consistency of the "meat" was just right.

Sorry Boot, my statement was a little 'Abrupt' what I meant was.....Out of all the reasons one would become Veggie or Vegan, I find the 'Methane' reason unfounded.....

Yes Brucy, l have also eaten one or two delicious vegan dishes,
and also fake meat products that tasted and looked like the real
thing, my problem is, why do vegans need to make their food look
and taste like meat if they hate meat?
I know a couple of vegans who will not even allow meat to share
the same oven with their cooking, and cant stand the smell of
a nice joint cooking! To me this seems to be more of a phobia than
a preference.
As l only know about ten vegans personally of whom half are
Afflicted/ affected to this extent l cant say all vegans suffer this way?
But the signs are that veganism is more of a religon or cult than
a genuine food preference?

As a vegan of many years Donkeyman I genuinely prefer the taste of a plant based diet. I don't consider it a religion or cult.
I would not want dead flesh in my fridge or oven either so understand your friends.
It is the thought of taking a piece of a living creature's body causing it to lose its life for my meal that I find repugnant.
With veganism growing at a phenomenal rate it seems many others do too.
Maybe in the future populations wil regard meat eating the way we do cannibals.

It's mostly young people who are turning vegan or veggie Xandra,.
(1) Because they believe the bull about methane and farm animals.
(2) Because it's fashionable like smoking was when I was young.
(3) Because they are on some kind of health and fitness kick.
(4) I can't think of (4) but I do know quite a few vegans that have left uni and are now carnivores again...
I'm not saying there aren't dyed in the wool vegans like yourself, but like tattoos and face jewelry you will be hard pushed to find any in fifteen years time.
