It's a funny thing, when I was previously eating all sorts of rubbish

advised against it), no one (here) seemed interested in my diet /

from my diet, everyone (well the trolls especially)

And OT posts about veganism isn't trolling?


Whilst T i m’s posting about veganism are mind-bendingly boring

I guess that might depend on how soon the planet is affected and that
affects you?

and OT,

But *always* clearly marked as such when I start a thread.

in
his defence, he didn’t start this particular thread.

Hey, I get people are uncomfortable when they are asked to question
things they have probably been doing all their lives, still aren't
illegal (although that seems to be changing fast) and so can't see the
problem about it all now, but that's the point, it is a problem now
and for all of us and every day, more and more people confirm it's
unsustainable (our consumption of meat, eggs and dairy) and immoral.

So it's not just some trivial / diet / fad from a few hippies, it's a
global movement that primarily aims to get people consider the costs
and consequences of their lifestyle choices, as they relate in 2021,
not how they may have related thousands of years ago.

It's not about stopping you doing something, it's about making you
realise you shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.

If it really was ok, you should be able to suckle directly from a cow
and kids should be able to watch how their food comes about.

Daughter has attended several 'Oureach cubes' now (where people stand
in public places showing video footage of *standard* meat production
practices and engage people in conversation to raise awareness) and
nearly without exception, no one is 'happy' watching the footage,
things done to animals, every day, by the million that are *only*
being done because you are paying for it to be done.
