In my 1st year at uni I lived with a vegetarian. She was a pain in the bottom. Remarks of how could we eat this or that every meal we had. Really trying to put us off our food. Saying that all animals had families and they shouldn’t be consumed and how nature isn’t respected!


Still, it didn’t stop me using ‘her’ frying pan every Saturday morning to cook bacon in and only wipe it clean!

I think your vegetarian housemate was just a girl private, and the fact she was a veggie exacerbated that.

I lived with two and I’m friends with several vegetarians and vegans and you wouldn’t know. Not all are male masturbators….

I used to manage a vegetarian restaurant above Liverpool Street station and totally agree. Not all of them are and times have changed. Am guessing it was different in the 90s  to what it is now. Plus, she came from a privileged home and was probably going through a rebellion stage tbh!  

In the longer term, we certainly are going to have to eat more plant protein as the planet's population continues to increase and resources dwindle. Either that, or different types of 'creature' protein, such as that from insects! The alternative could be lab-grown meat or perhaps other sorts of processed plant protein. Not a veggie myself (though I love a dal) and I'm rarely interested in the vegetarian option, but I'm aware it's likely to be necessary in the future.

Oh, there's also soylent green as an option as well!

Or we could actually invest in agriculture properly rather than trying to drive out all small and medium farmers in favour of huge agricorps so they can rinse us all forever after in a food monopoly.  We already produce loads of food that gets thrown away as 'undesirable' because it's wonky or to keep prices high artificially.  The only reason there is a push for 'plant protein' is because the margins are astronomical compared to traditional grass fed meat.

RE to the angry veggie/vegan anecdotes above, I tend to find it's the student age ones who are militant about it, personally met plenty of those however I have also dated, worked with and been friends with many who you'd never know wouldn't touch meat. Maybe it's an age/experience thing?

It's plainly untrue that that is the only reason and you know it is

Quoted from immariner

There may well be a few good meaning people involved in that industry who genuinely just want to create alternative food choices, but the real facts - not the made up stuff spouted endlessly in the media- tell a very different story.  When the choice is to buy a rump steak for £2 and sell it for £4, or to spend £0.01 cultivating a fungus mould and shaping it to look like a rump steak and selling it for £4 I can't see a profit motivation there at all......plus you can't patent meat, anyone can grow it.  You can however patent a plant protein cultivation method then lobby to have your method approved in law and others not thereby removing competition.  The producers of mold-based food (or plant based, whatever you wish to call it) are not organic farmers on the wolds trying to make the world a better place, they are multi-national agricorps. Those companies couldn't care less about the planet, they are in mold based food for profit.

After seeing that on Look North I was absolutely shocked and saddened.

I called in at all the chip shops down Grimsby Road and immediately asked that they stopped selling fish and I would much rather prefer scraps on my cat and chips but sadly none did cat in batter.

I think it’s time for the government to create a Ministry called the Ministry of Fuc* Right off.

Whenever something like this is doing the rounds it should be looked at by the Ministry of Fuc* Right off ,  then the Minister of Fuc* Right off call a press conference and announce that the Ministry has investigated the allegation and you can all Fuc* Right Off

Those kinds of veggies wind me up.  I was vegetarian for twenty years and hated people telling me I should get some meat down me.  So, I never tried to convert anybody or have a go at them for what they are eating.  Worked with one last year, she was a nightmare.  A real eco warrior.  Until it suited her.  She asked a few people if they wanted a smoothie delivered.   Only problem was that she ordered it from the other side of the city.  When I asked why she didn't get a local one, she said they were not as good.

The only way to be carbon neutral is to top yourselves and donate your body to a compost heap, anything else,and I mean anything....is consumption.

Raving loonies like this just don't do anything for their cause.

I dated a vegetarian lass many years ago and must admit I ended up with a certain amount of sympathy with her for the then, very limited menus. Nut cutlet and not much more.
We're were up on the moors near Huddersfield and found a little pub, blazing log fire, proper beer and the split of that Amos Bearly from Emmerdale off the telly, mutton chops the lot.
Behind was a menu blackboard and within seconds I'd sussed my pint of Thwaites with steak pie and chips.
Sue asked what the vegetarian options were, Amos glanced behind him at the board and without batting an eyelid said..
"Tell us what tha wants duk an ah'll tek flipping meat off for thee"

I was in The Head of Steam in Hull on Tuesday and there was a huge amount of vegan meals on the menu.
The Vegan Lamb Gyro caught my eye so I gave it a go thinking that I could always chuck it in the bin and get a burger.
I was pleasantly surprised as it was really nice.
It looked like lamb, chewed like lamb and tasted like lamb.
It seemed weird not knowing what it was or how it was made so I asked and was told it was made from rye.
The server was vegan herself and she said it was nice that vegans could eat things that were just like meat without harming animals, which I thought a bit bizarre to be fair.

This has to constitute’non-football’ by now, surely?!!

I had a similar experience somewhere in the Dales. My daughter who was visiting from Aus is vegetarian and we went into a pub for lunch. The meat-free option was chicken. Ever since when I invite people over for a meal I always say ‘chicken will be available for the veggos’.

Are there going to be demands for Andrew Pettit to apologise for his family links to Sausages and pay compensation for his guilt.

Must admit, initially I was expecting something similar or some tenuous link to a Peruvian lower league side that have a badge similar to ours and they’ve added a ship of something, alas, it’s just middle aged white men pretending that being English is a crime now…

I live in Wales, if there's one place in the UK where saying you're English is likely to get you arrested its here, but I haven't had my collar felt the Heddlu yet.

Just for saying your English. Arrested and thrown in jail. These days.

The embodiment of the metropolitan liberal elite has really let itself go.

"It's understood Grimsby Town’s trawler is not associated with slavery."

intercourse ME SIDEWAYS!

That sounds like the sort of urine-poor journalism the we expect from the excrement journo's at Grimsby Live, because its obviously too flipping difficult to find out if trawlers were used in the slave trade.

It must be Grimsby's dirty secret that a hundred years BEFORE the fishing boom, trawler owners bought negro slaves to work on the trawlers that hadnt even been invented by then.

Shhhhhhh! Dont mention it to anyone.
