Vegans V Meat eaters
Not sure if this should go in Food, Discussions or General ?I read something today that quite amused me.
It's about extreme vegans who try to insist others follow suit, and about the people who go 'Vegan' thinking they will save the planet.
I will quote part of the article, see what you think:
" Being vegan really isn't going to save the planet.
Did you know it takes 72 gallons of water to grow half a kilo of avocados? Or a gallon of water to grow every single almond?
California is being drained of water, as these two common crops are now being grown in increasing amounts.
Lettuce is three times worse than bacon in it's greenhouse emissions.
Soya? Increase in demand is causing huge deforestation.
Let's eat healthily and let's make sure welfare standards are high for the animals we do raise and eventually eat.
Let's ban halal and kosher products from animals that have not been stunned before slaughter.
Then let people eat what they want to eat instead of extreme vegans trying to force others to follow suit."

Apparently some even try to force their pets to agree!
There has been vegetarian and vegan dog food available since around the 1980's.
There is now even, an 'Insect' food for dogs, called 'Yora'. The insect content consists of the larvae of the black soldier ant!
Poor dogs. I am sure they wouldn't live on insects and oats from choice.
So, are there any vegans here?
Do you cook meat for others even if you don't want to eat it yourself?

Re: Vegans V Meat eaters
I am not a vegan. I eat a balanced diet with most food groups. I eat all types of seafood. I am the cook in our household and I cook whatever my family feels like. As for myself I hardly ever eat red meat. For the sole reason that I simply don't like it. I don't like chicken much but i will eat it in Thai dishes.03-07-2019, 01:48 AM

Though the seafood does redeem you a bit.

Re: Vegans V Meat eaters
I’m the live and let live type of person and while I’ve never been vegan I don’t eat much meat due to a metabolism disorder but I’ve decided to go vegan. It’s going to be challenging since my man is such a huge meat eater but he says he is ok with it. Well....., as long as I don’t try and make him become vegan as well.Making dogs vegan is not natural at all. They are carnivores. Our dogs eat a large variety of cooked meat along with 50% stemmed vegetables and they are super healthy. They get home cooked meals daily. No vegetarian dogs here but they eat plenty of them and like it.
haha. Too funny.

I had a vegan woman on one of my bottling crews back in the 1980's. She tried to convert her cat to vegan but as it deteriorated she took it to the vet who said "Sorry but she's got to have meat oriented sources of food for cats". Dogs can handle it but not cats. They are carnivores not omnivores like us and dogs.
