I can see this going the way of the "Anti cycling" thread.
Finally something sensible from youIt’s the vegan cyclists that annoy me.
Some while ago I saw the BBC journalist Gavin Esler being interviewed on TV. He recalled a time when he had been covering some big international summit thing at Jackson Hole in Wyoming, and after it was finished the production crew all went out for a meal at a local restaurant. The menu was basically steak, steak and more steak, so Esler called the waiter over and asked him what he'd recommend for a vegetarian? "Well, son," drawled the waiter, "I'd recommend you get the hell out of Wyoming."I remember a Frankie Boyle joke -
A couple go to a restaurant in France, and the guy says - "What is the vegetarian option?", and the waiter replies - "You can f**k off!"
I heard this earlier and seemed to recall that red meat was good for you?Please.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46122227 no......
Wasn't it Sid James in "Carry on Henry" that wanted to impose an S.E.T. on the populace?Whatever next???

No I don't.Do you think it is right for militant vegans to attack businesses, just because they do not meet with the rather strict dietary habits of a fringe group?
Extremists of any kind are very intolerant of people who do not agree with them, to the extent that they often use violence.
Very possibly, sorry I haven't time to read it at the moment.
That was until one of them asked me why I was eating lamb chops and I replied that by "2nd generation" I meant that I only eat things that had eaten grass
I once worked with a Ghanian chap who tried to woo a local (Cornish) lass. He could not begin to understand why she got so violently upset when he called her 'a big fat cow'. When I asked him about the black eye and why he had chosen that particular endearment his response was 'well, you have to say that to women, don't you.'Maybe weight hate is a cultural thing and not something we're necessarily born with.
My Mrs is Thai and the things she and her friends say to each other can sound terrible to my western ears but apparently it's perfectly fine to be fat in their culture and there's absolutely nothing wrong with calling people "fatty" and the like. My Mrs nickname means "fat." She isn't by the way. Maybe weight hate is a cultural thing and not something we're necessarily born with.

When I was at Uni some of my female colleagues on our Environmental Studies course were vegetarian, and I was appreciated for being a "2nd generation Vegetarian"

They went off me after that for some reason
As it happens I'm quite happy to eat veggie food, and I often have salad or vegetables as a side dish
