A lot of companies are selling plastic goods as being 'Vegan' i.e doctor Martens 'vegan' shoes which are made from plastic.But plastic comes when you take patroleum and put it through the cracking process in a cracker factory to produce the various carbon based products,or plastics.But oil is produced when much zoological algae and other algae is pressed under sedimentary rock under great pressure and heat to produce crude oil.Therefore oil is partly animal based and should not be claimed by many vegans to be 'vegan'.
 
As a vegan, I can confirm that I don't give a lot of thought to zoological algae. Certainly not as much as I'd give to sentient animals like cows which is the alternative shoe material.
 
So you don't care for the poor dinosaurs who died in order that you wear plastic shoes?

Vegan food is incredibly abundant these days. Especially meat substitute stuff. It's a much easier lifestyle choice than it used to be certainly.

I still like cooking with tempah, tofu and the like though.
 
Tempah, I've never heard of that.Is it tiny?

Tempah... Tempeh... Typo.

It's fermented soy beans formed into an oblong you slice like Lorne. Marinade it then cook it.
 
I've got a vegan friend and have friends who were in the Fini Tribe. Anyway Alan-Newhoose's brother, well known for having a dog called Chaos and for doing pavement art at the West End. Anyway they had a campaign against Macdonalds for years about their treatment of meat. Anyway I met him on the bus the other day and asked him about their vegan products and he seemed quite pleased. Maybe part of his campaigning paid off.

Sounds very much like the Tofu I used to buy?

It's a bit firmer and more textured than tofu. More "meaty".

My daughter likes the fact she can have veggie dippers with her happy meal certainly.

Personally, I'd rather not be giving McDonald's any money, but kids soften your resolve a bit.

They don’t soften your resolve they wear it down.

Tempe is something eaten in Indonesia every day. I always think it looks like peanut brittle.
 
Cracker Jack.
CRACKER JACK!

It does a bit. Totally different texture though.

Most of the "weird" vegan food over here is eaten fairly regularly somewhere else. I do a lot of Asian cooking because of it.
 
Without animal husbandry,Cows, sheep, pigs and chickens would die off.But before that their hooves claws and such like would become terribly overgrown and they would just starve to death.I'm hoping the vegans are prepaired for that scenario if we all take it up.
 
So not only are you prepaired to let dinosaurs die so that you can wear your pretend leather biker jackets,you also want coos, sheep and pigs to die a horrible slow death.

Admirable commitment to trying to start an argument but I reckon you're flogging a dead horse (or coo/ sheep/ pig).
 
Shame on us...
We have Oxbloods on our hands.... or feet!
 
I dont care what vegans eat as long as they dont care what I eat.
 
If any vegan types are feeling marginalised or threatened by this Moat character then please report to your nearest admin. I’ve heard he’s rather quick to use his fists but heavens above none of us should let him away with bullying the latest group he feels aggrieved with.

All the best x

I saw what you did there.
 
Nice bit on Scots Squad last night about Dundee vegans puling down the statue of Desperate Dan for his coo pie eating.

I take it that's what happened to donkeys when we stopped breeding them for labour aye?

More vegans would just result in less industrial breeding.

Everyone turning vegan over night is a pretty ridiculous hypothetical.

Try having coeliac disease which is not a lifestyle choice and watch the free from sections filled up with plant based food rammed full of gluten cause its the new trend.
Must be great being able to choose what you can eat

That’s a bummer.
Sadly the supermarkets will be guided by profits only.
Hopefully there will still be choices for guys with similar issues. Although I don’t have any food issues (apart from over eating) I always thought the ‘free from’ aisle was thoughtful.
I don’t have a gall bladder anymore so fatty or spicy food can be a challenge- unfortunately I love both.
Oh aye. Coffee. And alcohol.
One makes me go for a shit, the other makes me talk/type shit.

You've never seen donkeys getting their long hooves trimmed?
