I know a lot of veggies - it can't be the circles I move in, can it?

I recently looked up a 'prostate-friendly' diet for Techy (he's at that age ) and thought 'ello, this is familiar...it has gotten to the point now where I don't take a blind bit of notice of any new health scare/information that gets bandied about in the press. Eat butter (eggs, beef, curly kale), don't eat butter (eggs, beef, curly kale). How about just eating sensibly? Protein, carbs, fat, proportionate to your physical needs and how you are inclined ethically. Me: mostly fruit and veg with a more than fair amount of fish and a slightly more than fair amount of meat, chocolate, and cake. Also, alcohol, water, coffee, pretty much in that order, descending volume.
I can't stand faddy diets, moronic journalism, and scaremongering. Maybe it's because I was raised on a farm in the 70s...home-grown, home-cooked, with a side order of dung; I'm not terribly dainty when it comes to food!
Well, she made herself look an idiot, just because you are a vegetarian, doesn't mean they have to be, it is wrong

She didn’t make herself look an idiot. She is an idiot. And she shouldn’t be allowed to keep the dog. Dogs are biologically designed to process certain types of food and salad isn’t high on that list.Well, she made herself look an idiot, just because you are a vegetarian, doesn't mean they have to be, it is wrong
It's obvious, from the video, the dog was craving meatShe didn’t make herself look an idiot. She is an idiot. And she shouldn’t be allowed to keep the dog. Dogs are biologically designed to process certain types of food and salad isn’t high on that list.
It was also clearly very hungry.It's obvious, from the video, the dog was craving meat
Dramatic 17% overall decrease in U.K. meat consumption is welcomed, but people from lower socioeconomic status groups are still the biggest meat eaters.

'people from lower socioeconomic status groups are still the biggest meat eaters.' - they're not eating fillet steak and artisan bacon every day. Poor quality processed meat products are deadly.Dramatic 17% overall decrease in U.K. meat consumption is welcomed, but people from lower socioeconomic status groups are still the biggest meat eaters.

Been there, many times.Before the pandemic, I played league darts every Friday, with the venues being usually working men's clubs.
These were unashamedly working class and would, inevitably, have a meat raffle towards the end of the evening. Think I was the only one who declined to participate. There was also fairly slim pickings for the food provided at the end of the darts match. If I was lucky, there were cheese and onion or egg sarnies, but it would often be "bangers in a basket" or beefburgers.

I'm quite 'lucky' in a way because I always feel crap after eating processed stuff (when I did used to eat meat) and even non-meat products today; crisps/cakes/biscuits etc so I don't partake. I suppose cheese is classed as processed of course, but even with that there are some bloomin terrible ones that I would never eat.'people from lower socioeconomic status groups are still the biggest meat eaters.' - they're not eating fillet steak and artisan bacon every day.

Oh my god do people still do meat raffles? I haven't heard that term since I was a kid, I'd forgotten they were a thing.
I do eat meat but very, very occasionally, MrsCarlos is about 90% vegan so most of the food we have in the house is vegan. Except the cat food.
Unfortunately the vegan alternatives to eggs and cheese are crap (at the moment) so it will be some time before I consider making the move. Melted vegan cheese is the most difficult washing-up challenge I've ever encountered, it's like beige tar and surely can't be good for your insides?
Living near Brighton we're spoiled for veggie and vegan options, you can't move for falafels and knitted sandals down here.

Do you think that they are deliberately made to be nasty, to try and discourage all but the most determined people from being vegan?Not veggie or vegan but happy to eat veggie or vegan food, I suspect that vegan egg alternatives are always going to be nasty or simply little or nothing like eggs. Have had two vegan cheeses, one was like cheap highly processed, bland cheeses which are likely to have little dairy in them anyway. The other was pretty much completely tasteless, odd texture too.
Someone in the USA on another message board said they worked in a very cheap cheese factory which made cheese for prisons and schools. What they churned out was almost entirely derived from plant oil and flavoured with lactic acid and maybe a little powdered milk, so was often vegan anyway.

Yep .. a consultant surgeon dealing with my repeating kidney stones told me to cut down on processed meat but high quality meat is expensive .. I've been identifying what I like that has the same vitamins etc since then and I do enjoy most veg because they have more flavour than meat but I've started having a quarter pounder beef burger (processed to f**k) with different sauces or/and cheese or a fried egg to get me started for the day. I have a light healthy lunch and the evenings are even lighter, sometimes just a bowl of all bran with green top milk and honey on top.'people from lower socioeconomic status groups are still the biggest meat eaters.' - they're not eating fillet steak and artisan bacon every day.
