Veganism is just another crackpot religion, hence the sermons we
constantly get on this group about the subject



And they are not very good at stats.

If I was making stats up I would at least try to make them look
credible.

I liked the bit:

* 7.2 million British adults currently follow a meat-free diet * 262,000
more men than women don‘t consume meat (7.2 million vs 7 million)

Of course meat free doesn't mean vegan.

It is true that 82% of statistics are made up in the spot.

a great many years ago, Prince Philip said that there were only 3
statistics that mattered and theyb were vital.
