Considering becoming a vegetarian

[WestGorton]

We all eat far too much meat that is factory produced. My mate was a slaughter man at Phillips Park. He has PTSD. Free range and very very expensive is the way of preserving choice and animal dignity.

In which case it would be reasonable to expect him to back that up with evidence?

What, the claim that you get B12 from meat because it has been fed to animals?
What shite.
It’s this type of crap that makes respect for certain militant vegans/ vegetarians impossible.
It’s mind numbing bollocks.

And I say this as someone who eats red meat no more than once a month.

If God had wanted his beloved Manchester children to be vegetarian he wouldn't have given us Holland's steak puddings.

If you tell me the moon is made of cheese and I say it’s bollocks, it’s not on me to provide evidence.

I don't think it's an especially militant view and I definitely wasn't militant in the way I raised it. If factory farmed animals don't have access to soil, then they're likely to be deficient in B12, so they're given supplements and it ends up in the meat. I don't know why it's weirdly triggered you quite so much.

Hopefully I’ve copied the link properly, choose which of the search results best match your claim.

No because that would be an outlandish claim without any basis in fact and therefore totally lacking credibility. If you were to tell me the moon was made of a specific type of rock and I told you that was bollocks it would be reasonable to expect one of us to point to the evidence available

It was just an example.

The one who makes the suggestion needs to provide the evidence, that’s generally how it works.

I could provide my own but it’s not my responsibility.

I have learned a few things today. I have learned that somebody is selling vegetarian cheese and that animals don’t eat meat.

Lions do
