Royally pissed off. And shouldn't labelling be better regulated to ensure only products made with real milk and cream (aka dairy) are called 'ice cream'? Oat paste should be marketed as something else.

Being the '1st carbon negative ice cream company' will not make any difference if the product is no good or cannot be eaten due to allergens🙄

Who's advising these companies?

Try to stay on track rather than losing it. It’s a common deflection method. No one is saying you are the sole cause, obviously.

With the harm caused to animals and the destruction of the planet, people that are not pushing themselves as much as they can to live ethically are going to get questioned if they choose to engage in a thread like this one.

LoveInSlowMotion · 02/05/2022 18:36

That was to @PinkSparklyPussyCat

I hold my hands up, I am solely responsible for the demise of the planet because I wanted a fucking MX5!

I don't have kids, rarely fly, recycle where I can and the meat I eat is local and organic (although I know that isn't good enough for some on here).

This is hyperbole. Nobody has claimed you're solely responsible for anything.

You stated that you couldn't eat plant based. If the obstacle to that is medical as you mentioned, then it doesn't apply to any other aspect of your life. So you could live a vegan life in every other aspect.

@OhLordyWhatNow I just quoted the OPs post where they were blaming vegans.

Errrm not in the post I replied to you didn't.

Innocenta · 02/05/2022 18:37

@OhLordyWhatNow What irony? We are vegans so obviously we care a lot about it. None of us are pretending we don't care. It's inherent in the life we live.

OhLordyWhatNow · 02/05/2022 18:40

The irony that Posey is berating someone for doing the exact same thing that they are doing?

PoseyFlump · 02/05/2022 18:41

Good for you @PinkSparklyPussyCat for taking a stand and complaining about your accommodation! Enjoy your holiday.

OhLordyWhatNow · 02/05/2022 18:42

And what makes you think that non vegans don't care? Who gave you the badge of moral superiority?

PoseyFlump · 02/05/2022 18:43

@OhLordyWhatNow I can't quote a quote so if you want to read it you'll have to scroll back 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is @PoseyFlump on holiday as well then? If not, I see no irony.

Berating? I was being civil to @PinkSparklyPussyCat and I'm not on holiday.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 02/05/2022 18:45

Question by all means @LoveInSlowMotion, but certain posters try to bully and call people liars if they don't agree with them (I'm not just talking about this thread either). If someone tries to bully me, like a lot of people I will dig my heels in.

@Innocenta I'm not prepared to make myself ill for the sake of animals or the planet and if that offends some random on the internet then so be it.

I hold my hands up, in other areas of my life I don't want to change. I'm going to have a bit of fun with my car, it won't be forever, I won't be able to get in and out in a couple of years! I'm afraid that other than when I buy meat I will buy whatever products are cheapest, vegan or not.

A genuine question for the vegans, do you take medication?

OhLordyWhatNow · 02/05/2022 18:45

I assumed Posey is referring to it being a Bank Holiday in the UK?

Shoebie · 02/05/2022 18:46

Lmao this thread has descended into ridiculousness. If any omnis are reading this, not all vegans are like this.

Nope @PinkSparklyPussyCat is on a proper holiday and I'm pretty sure they know I wasn't being goady.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 02/05/2022 18:47

@PoseyFlump I didn't take your post as berating me at all! BTW I love your user name, takes me back to my childhood!

OhLordyWhatNow · 02/05/2022 18:47

Posey, I quoted the post I was responding to. It's the one where you've recreated TWAT x 3.

If you were not responding to my reply you need to make that clear as it makes the thread hard to follow.

My ‘big girl pants’ won’t overcome my inability to eat gluten though

And the Judes marketing machine has done a great job of ensuring that their branded freezers, and therefore only their products, are stocked in pretty much every cafe around me, and absolutely every cafe in our local parks

So my ‘big girl pants’ also won’t stop that my family can now probably not have the fairly usual treat of going to the park for a play and an ice cream

Not the end of the world but quite impactful for a lot of families, despite your sneery comment

Maybe you and your family could go out for coffee and cake? Or a croissant and jam? Or any other breakfast pastry. Or a pastie, sausage roll or Bridie? What about soup and a sandwich ? Perhaps a baguette or toasted Sandwich ?

Oh no of course you can’t because they all contain gluten 😥😥

What about a burger or pizza place . Oops more Gluten 😰😰

Maybe a Chinese meal? Oh but there’s gluten in soya sauce. 😥😥

Fish and chips ? Except the oil is contaminated and the bread crumbs aren’t gluten free. 😓😓

MacDonald’s ? Nope nothing except salad. 😰😰yeah salad is good for you and it’s so much fun telling your 5yo that she can have salad while everyone else has burgers. And an apple while they have smarties, Oreo or Maltesers MacFlurries. Unfortunately MacDonald’s hasn’t read Mn to know that “ 99% of ice cream is gluten free” ( as claimed by people who have never read labels ).

So @SW1amp you just need to accept that you and your kids don’t get to socialise like other families because of your medical condition. It’s your own fault anyway for being difficult.

Hmm Hmm Hmm

@PinkSparklyPussyCat I loved Grandpa Flump but the name doesn't suit me Grin

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 02/05/2022 18:50

@PoseyFlump, Pootle was the best!

This thread is mad. It's gone from a moan about ice cream to the Flumps with a vegan bunfight in between!

PoseyFlump · 02/05/2022 18:53

Oh I forgot pootle! Is that the one with a stuffy nose?! 😂

If you're under 40 you probably haven't a clue what we're talking about.

PoseyFlump · 02/05/2022 18:55

To be honest @OhLordyWhatNow I can't even remember now Grin

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 02/05/2022 18:56

That's the one! I think I identify with him as I've got a permanently stuffy nose and a bobble hat!

I'm now thinking of a name change to PinkSparklyPootle!

PoseyFlump · 02/05/2022 18:59

Oh the bobble hat! Wonder if it's on YouTube. Would probably be crap watching it now though Grin

Plant based diet would sort that stuffy nose out ;)
