to wonder WTF would it take for people stop eating "meat"

[ElenorRigby]

Just that really!

I'm getting a pet lentil too.

What's that fing ?

Weak and thready ones, I'm sure.

Yes AF it appears is my future.

Ho hum.

The only interesting thing you can do with pulses is stuff a dead vegetarian with them before putting them on the BBQ!

That was my biggest issue with being veggie - I was upset cows died, but if I wanted to subsist on veg, the caterpillars and teeny soil life could happily go f&ck itself. Then I realised that if I was subsisting on veg, the cows would become my enemy and at the very least I'd have to fence them out and they'd starve to death. And I wouldnt mind lions stalking my cabbage patch, but what would THEY eat if the cows had all starved to death? So I'd be responsible for pretty much the death of EVERYTHING except my cabbages.

It wasn't a vision I liked.

arf

Admittedly bits of dead jockey in the horseburger might start to make me think twice.

hully is there much meat on that rump of yours ?

My butcher has always buggered off home by the time I finish work,Maryz.

Busy catching nice fresh cows for the next day I expect.

Seriously,you're right - that's the way to do it!

Was in a restaurant once with a load of pissed up work colleagues and we'd pre-booked a large table, waiter comes out to check if any vegetarians in the party (set meal). It was met with the reply ' Nah, we've eaten 'em mate ' from one of us, followed by howls of laughter, only made worse and prolonged by the waiters catsbumface.

You had to be there really.

I'll get mi coat.

What about if you kill the animal yourself? Is it ok to eat it then? I would be limited to rabbit, trout and pigeon though.

Rabbit ??

I love rabbit

Not had it for years

Isn't the issue more to do with the capitalist pigs (sorry pigs) who are committing fraud?
I will not stop eating meat but might stop eating 'meat' but that's difficult as I can't see us not eating salami, meatballs or sausages.
I'm more annoyed that the money grabbing bastards have done this.
I'd like to be a vegetarian in response but it's not going to happen, however, I will make more of an effort than I already do to eat less meat.

I do think a lot of meat eaters are very dismissive of veggies. Went to a restaurant once, and the veggie option (yes, THE. Only 1) was the non veggie roast dinner with the meat taken off, but the meat gravy left on! Not veggie as I already said, but even I didn't go there again after the look that was given by the waiter when we asked if the gravy was vegetarian.

Wasn't Hitler a vegetarian? That would explain the "I'm right and you are a damned infidel who must be excised from humanity" attitude of some of them rofl

I'd eat frankie detori annoying man.

Dh needs to go shooting anyfucker - I've ran out of rabbit. Lovely slow cooked (its wild so always slow cook as I can't be sure how old it is)

don't worry, the money grabbing bastards have veg sewn up aswell: spraying foreign peasants with what's banned here, eroding soils aways to nothing, exporting water from countries that really need it over here and so on and so forth...

Comparing eating meat to smoking, drinking and buggering choirboys isn't exactly a fair comparison...
Smoking, drinking (excessively) and buggering choirboys are bad things. Thus implying that eating meat is a bad thing.
It isn't.
It's natural.

The treatment of animals is poor and something that needs to be combated by the government. As consumers we can help by buying more conscientiously.

Animals being treated badly isn't a good reason not to eat meat - just make sure you ethically source your food. It's like saying that you refuse to wear clothes because Primark exploits children in india to make theirs.

Oh no TheSeventhHorcrux. I refuse to wear clothes because I enjoy being nekked and freaking out the neighbours.

sod waiting for the government to do something! The food system will go where the money is, so sponsor the bits you like 3x a day every day and it will HAVE to move that way. Nothing will stop animal/foreign peasant abuse/soil erosion/water exporting quicker then cutting off it's blood (money) supply.

I will stop eating near when veg tastes better. Or at least my ability to cook it improves.

I hate courgette and abourgine and they sneak into all veggie dishes!

veg is great

on the side of my meat
