Considering becoming a vegetarian

[NeilYoungIsBack]

Not a vegetarian but I use Quorn a fair bit. The mince version works really well in spicy noodle dishes such as Dan Dan (I prefer Quorn mince to using the traditional pork mince TBH).

The chunky version works really well in a Thai red or yellow curry.

I went veggie about two years ago and I miss absolutely nothing. I still eat fish
It started when I had my 60th and was doing bbq in the garden and I went to Sainsburys and bought chicken fillets and cos there was a lot of people (I'm very, very popular!) got the frozen cheaper ones and saw they were from Thailand. WTF
You start to realise you are just a pawn in the supermarkets plan to hoover every last shilling and they will not consider for one second ethical food production despite all the rhetoric.
Every time you watch any documentry about the state of the world you know its all going to shit, food production, - whether palm oil, rain forest clearance, sea pollution etc is all the result.
Where you go after realising that, is up to you. But you can't not know it
I would like to go dairy free but am too weak willed

Are they still called 'Fleshers' up there?
I am in no way interested in all things veggie, but when I first went on hols
in Scotland, my mum was horrified at the name. My dad gave no fucks and
I remember eating a haggis, for the first time, and loved it, I still get them,
from an Edinburgh butcher. 'Flesher' is a graphic handle though, may as well
call themselves, 'Dismemberers.'

You soft southern bastards. Some are I believe.

Not even when it is made from the juice of the dead animal ;-) That is my kind of veggie, she is a great cook and there was more meat for us.

Get her on the Bisto! Aah...

I have cereal and buttered toast for breakfast, a nutri grain as elevenses, cheese salad baguette for lunch and maybe some pasta / rice based food in the evening. Whilst bacon, sausages, chicken, lamb and fish comes in to play often, it’s maybe only twice a week now. I like it too much to consider vegetarian a diet but it’s also good to cut down.

Overpopulation is partly to blame for farming and food shortages but it’s unethical to ask people not to reproduce. If we all do our bit then things will get better. Margarita pizza or cheese & onion pies are good, IMO. I’ll often pick them up.

Sorry but a lot of that is rubbish, 87% of farmland produces 13% of the food we eat, the majority is to either feed animals or for the animals themselves!! It’s not fucking sustainable any longer, we need to change and soon!!

Why are you apologising for having such forthright opinions? If you’re one of those militant vegans that everyone despises then do you really think your diatribe is going to persuade me to start buying oat milk? It isn’t.

I’m now going to eat more meet just to piss you off.

Watched this at the end of last year, and followed Arnie’s advice and just had plant based day 2 days a week. This has gradually grown to pretty much being meat free except for a couple of meals which are either salmon or chicken. I was a big lover of anything dripping in blood - a nice steak, Sunday roast etc but having made a gradual change I feel healthier (lower blood pressure is a bonus) and I’m not bothered if I don’t eat red meat again. As a few have already said it’s a choice what we eat, if plant based works for you then why not. The experience of Rich Roll always makes me smile - no one ever mentioned or questioned his excessive lifestyle of drinking and shit food, but as soon as he told friends he was following a plant based diet they suddenly showed concerns for his health and questioned why he would want to!

Hope it’s socially distanced meet ;)
