And here was I thinking of adopting vegetarianism. Oh well, think again Canary LOL

[johnk]

If an animal is never born isn't that the same as killing them. So vegans are responsible for killing lots of cuddly lambs!!

[emmie]

my nephew bless him doesn't like vegetables even though he is essentially a vegetarian because he doesn't eat meat..

[Old_Geezer]

He sounds like a Breatharian !

[Atheist]

Johnk; please reassure me that you are joking.

[Atheist]

emmie; what does he eat?

[ummmm]

I knew this years ago. It's not something new. Read 'A Secret Life of Plants'

[ummmm]

Atheist..kids can live healthily on jam sandwiches.

[Atheist]

ummmmm. I think that 'ultrasonic' scream should have been written ultrasonic 'scream' ( I hope the punctuation marks come out properly.)

[Atheist]

ummmmm; I don't think that a diet of bread and jam can be called healthy.

[ummmm]

No, it's not, but as the health visitor said to me...how many adults do you know who only eat jam sandwiches? Or go to the pub with their bottle and dummy. It's a fussy phase.

You just make sure other food is tried/attempted.

Anyway...I read that houseplants react to orgasms :-)

[johnk]

I'm not joking. Everything that lives dies, is it better to have lived and died or never to have lived at all?

[emmie]

he eats a lot of cheese pizza, and quorn products i believe.. it must be a nightmare for his mum

[diddlydo]

His Mum must be soft in the head to cater for a non-veg-liking so-called "vegetarian". Either eat the family meals or sort your own would have been my reaction.

[ToraToraTora]

ahh diddly you're hiding over here in the safe bosom of food and drink! when are you coming back to news?

[Zacs-Master]

That was 3 days ago, Tora. Before the result was known. When Labour voters were still living in hope.

[ToraToraTora]

yep quite right, misread the date, no diddly!

[aelmpvw]

glad i can't hear the screams of a field of corn being harvested ...

[Rockrose]

I lost a friend last week because she decided to launch into a rant whilst we were all sat in a pub.
Sitting enjoying a drink and munchies of pork scratching she decided to call us all murderers and other such names.
We tried to calm her down and told her we don’t tell you what to it please give us the same courtesy, but she went on and on.
I don’t understand it I have other vegan friends and they don’t preach!

[johnny.5]

this is nothing new I remember reading about this in the 1970's a book called supernature by lyall watson where plants were attached to a polymath and their feelings were registered for empathy
Am I Right ?
I'm Not Wrong !

[tiggerblue10]

I've been vegan since April but I would never dream of preaching to anyone about they should or shouldn't eat.
