Re: Vegan or vegitarian.
I just can't understand how somebody can not have the occasional Big Mac, or Ginsters Cornish Pasty...
When I was working on the road I would have starved to death or died of dehydration if there had not been any Mcdonalds en route....
I've yet to meet a vegan or veggie courier, lettuce and cabbage just doesn't travel well...

Re: Vegan or vegitarian.
I have always described myself an an 'almost vegetarian', in that I like fish but avoid meat.Until recently, that is, when Marge persuaded me to try more meat. Fair enough, I thought, as Marge likes meat more than I do and if she's cooking for us both it's a bit unfair to ask her not to eat meat!
So now I'm happy to eat meat - providing is has no fat or gristle. It has to be the finest lean meat to pass my lips. My mouth is a temple!
A vegan, though? You must be joking!
What is the possible objection to milk or milk products? Do animals have to be killed to provide us with milk? Do we mistreat animals who we keep for milk? Is milk unhealthy?
I'm at a total loss to understand any vegan logic.

P.S - Not a vegan. Just trying to make better food choices.

Also, to prevent infection from all this, they also give the cow lots of antibiotics. So, while I am a milk fan - I'm vastly reducing the cow milk, and switching to plant based milk - which is actually really nice.P.S - Not a vegan. Just trying to make better food choices.
She doesn't think she's having a baby, she has had a baby.
No pumping hormones whatsoever, or the use of antibiotic unnecessarily.
Artificially insemination is expensive and used in the production of prize breeding stock.
The castrated boys and 90+% of the girls get killed for meat once they've grown up.
They live in the big outdoors, it's been going on for 1000s of years.
