[Closed] am i turning veggienese.......

What's brought this on [b]ton[/b]? It's not the end of the world - meat is relatively expensive and there's plenty of tasty veggie stuff you can eat instead. I'm not meaning to promote vegisity, I think it's a personal choice...

No help needed, many million people manage it every day 🙂

SSP

sounds like its time to break out the Bacon Lattice sir!

Condolences

but, i do feel better.... 8)

I only have the rare meat meal, and only when I know where the meat has come from 🙂

One great thing about being vegi is that Indian resterants are the best for selection of dishes 🙂

SSP

Christ, something's gone rong, for sure!

Ton, snap out of it, man! FFS!

Get that man a bacon sarnie, immediately!

no shame in being meat free...

Well if its any concilation Ton I have been a Veggie for 28 years and its done me no harm.

Matt

Can't say I'm veggie but I'm enjoying Quorn of late...wife does a lovely Morrocan dish with Quorn pieces, the Quorn pies are nice and I love the Quorn Toad-in-the-Hole

Oooooh I fancy a nice Quorn steak, NOT! 😮 ****in' yuk sh|ite 😳

veggie for 5yrs now and loving it 🙂

not eaten meat for 21 years - don't miss it but it isn't for everyone

Who'd want to eat anything that used to have a face?

For every animal you dont eat - I'll eat two.

Am i the only one thinking ton had started eating just vegetarian chinese dishes?

I've been veggie for 19 years, but having met Ton - just have a nice lamb chop and you'll be fine in the morning.

I think being veggie it cruel to animals. If we didn't eat them they wouldn't exist(or very few of them, in Zoos etc.)

A lamb might have a short life, but it's pleasant enough, and doesn't know what awaits it.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the only life we get. When I've been dead for a google years(I know time is irrelevant when dead, just making a point), and facing the rest of eternity dead, if I'm offered the chance to live again, but as a lamb, knowing my life would be short - I'd surely take it.

According to the United Nations, raising animals for food causes more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the cars, planes, trains, and trucks in the world combined.

And producing 1 calorie of meat uses 10 times more fossil fuels than it takes to produce 1 calorie of plant based foods.

I don't eat meat. Don't really mind if you do or not. But I do think people should cut down on their meat intake. It really isn't required everyday. Here, have a carrot.

I'll see your carrot and raise you:

mmm, gives me a weeks worth of heratburn just looking at the photo!

why does eating orange food taste so good??

nutt, that is horrific.....just gonna have sme grilled tomatoes on granary.
omn om nom nom 😆

quorn is just athlete's foot with great PR. frightening muck, it is.

Ton, smash up some garlic, oregano, salt and a very finely sliced chalot then rub that into the bread with some grilled tomato! (and lots of olive oil!!

Had been veggie for 8 years, but just before Christmas could not resist a bacon sandwich, not looked back since 8)

MrNutt you're doing a great job of putting people off meat with that pic 🙂

Do people (apart from Merkins obviously) really eat stuff like that ???

grahamb, veggie for 29 years

I'd eat it with pleasure. Probably not in one sitting though!

I guess it'd also take more that one "sitting" to get rid of the after effects 🙂

You'll be fine as long as you don't go to Germany! Truly the cities are paved with meat.

2009 marks 25 years as a veggie for me as well as 25 years of mountain biking. Perhaps there is a link.

Bacon butties are to vegetarians as silver bullets are to werewolves.

just had a veggie masala...very nice to.
thing is , i do not feel full after a meal now.

Excellent - it means you haven't over-eaten.

that carrot pic reminded me of

enough obscene vegetables already - this isn't "That's Life" 🙁

Sorry Simon, should have known

Woops! Didn't mean to hijack thread, back to vegetarianism....

Hey! a tree with boobies :o) Is it real or photoshop ?

It must be ps I guess - I found it while looking for more pics of obscene veg for you 😉

Pretty amazing though.

Want about bananas SFB - any quorn or meat in that ? This lady appears to be 'confused' :

I believe [b]bananas[/b] have no salty aftertaste...

Why the anti-Quorn? Low fat, high fibre and not meat. FWIW I love mushrooms as well 😉

Why the anti-Quorn?

he once et a bad un 🙁

Why the anti-Quorn?

Cause it's evil. I can't eat the stuff - makes me feel ill. And I don't eat meat. There's been attempts to have it banned in the US.

I'm not sure that we've necessarily evolved over millions of years to eat "a fungus that was discovered in a North Yorkshire soil sample in the Sixties".

[i]What's the truth about... Quorn[/i]

"a small proportion of people could experience mild allergies"...I would imagine there is always going to be a small proportion who suffer mild allergies with any food/drink product 🙄

I'm not sure that we've necessarily evolved over millions of years to eat "a fungus that was discovered in a North Yorkshire

we have evolved as omnivores, and can assimilate most foods. I used to eat Quorn with no ill effects beyond farting.

For a long time Quorn wasn't classified suitable for vegetarians by the Vegetarian Society.

yeah, the poor likkle quorns kick up such a fuss when they are cruelly bludgeoned to death 🙁

That really is a nonsense statement. Dogs, bears and foxes are also 'omnivores', it doesn't mean that we've evolved to eat identical food as them. And what do you class as "most foods" ? Blood and ants are "food" to some animals, does that mean that our bodies have evolved to digest blood and ants ?

Probably more to do with the fact that battery hen eggs are used in the production of Quorn

Dogs, bears and foxes are also 'omnivores', it doesn't mean that we've evolved to eat identical food as them

no, and I never claimed we were, however we can digest all sorts of stuff...

does that mean that our bodies have evolved to digest blood and ants ?

yes. Black pudding, and some ants are a tasty snack in Africa

Probably more to do with the fact that battery hen eggs are used in the production of Quorn

WHAT ?? Jeez 🙁

Blood and ants are "food" to some animals, does that mean that our bodies have evolved to digest blood and ants ?
Black pudding=blood mmmmmmmmmmm food of the gods.

LOL ! Indeed I had forgotten about black pudding ! One of the very few things which I miss not eating - I would certainly consider eating it before bacon.

Although it's certainly not quite the same as fresh blood ingested by vampire bats. I think that would make you throw up ....

I said "omnivores" not friggin [b]vampires[/b] 🙁

I had some veggie black puddin last year. 1) it wasn't black 2) it tasted nothing like 🙁

Probably more to do with the fact that battery hen eggs are used in the production of Quorn

i believe they switched to free range a good few years ago now, but i'm not sure on that one... i don't eat it anyway though, eggs is eggs and i'm banned from eating them by the vegan police.

No you said : " can assimilate most [u]foods[/u]". Blood is "food" to some creatures. As I said, it really was a nonsense statement - what you call "food" is highly debatable. I don't consider a parasitic fungi which was discovered to have destroyed a wheat crop in 1967 as "food"

As I said, it really was a nonsense statement - what you call "food" is highly debatable

OK, I see what you mean - but I was thinking of things used as food by other mammals. Apart from things which are poisonous to us, we can manage most things except grass & bamboo etc and rotting flesh

I don't consider a parasitic fungi which was discovered to have destroyed a wheat crop in 1967 as "food"

OK, I think we got that message 🙂

quorn(tm) is (possibly) the work of the devil

have you considered forcing rhubarb?

There are some Maasai tribes that still drink blood. Fresh from the Jugular of their cows. Mostly ceremonial and for medicine IIRC
