for orangutans.
apparently there are over half a million vegans in UK, and many complained about the new 5 pound note over its tallow content, so the Bank of England is going to
make the 20 pound notes with Palm oil, which is a basic oil in the lands of the
orangutan, Sumatra and Borneo. So the more its harvested, more habit goes the more orangutans will die off. What are we doing to our planet.
mikey
half a million in UK alone, its not a fad, so we are all contributing in our own way to the destruction of these beautiful animals. Not just the loggers who clear the lands, but us too, that is a sobering thought.
ok, i didn't see that, but that means that many many are creating lands where these animals are being killed off, such as the Sumatran Tiger, not just the Orangutan. The theory goes that they could be wiped out in 3 years or less if we don't do something.
Emmie.....If that is the case, then I agree its a problem that we should be worried about, although the small amount of palm oil that will be needed to produce the £20 note, may only be a drop in the ocean.
I used to work in a vegetarian restaurant...the owner was from Delhi and her food was delicious...
But the vegan customers were all crackpots, and not terribly robust.
This is a menu for a local place...vegan in the name,but prawns on the menu? Lots of mock meat...bleurrggh
If you are opposed to eating animals, why would you want to make your food look and taste like an animal?
It's like saying ... I don't want to eat animals, but I love the idea of eating animals so much that, even if I'm eating a processed bean product, I want it to look and taste like an animal.
