Some beer is suitable for Vulcans - of both types.An earlier version of the list had tick boxes for vegetarian and vegan beside each beer which were filled in with information from the brewers. One brewer apparently thought that their beers were suitable for vegans but not vegetarians!
You tell someone (because you've had too, or needed too, for whatever reason!) and suddenly you've met a nutritionist.
Suddenly these people (mostly family and friends) are experts in the field of protein, vitamins and iron deficiency, dairy and meat farming and the fishing industry.
Suddenly they try to give arguments towards why we have to eat animals and whatever the animal produces in its short little life, we have to have.
Suddenly they care more for me than they ever have, like i've stopped eating animals and animal products, so they have to try and claw me back to their side, which is of course, is the normal side.
Suddenly, they are defending their actions, over mine.
Oh boy.
daughter is a vegan, The other day I met one of her friends Dads.
"Hi, which is your daughter"
"Yeah Hi, that one there, she's the vegan"
Going vegan not only ensures you give empathy towards animals, but makes you feel like applying (much needed) empathy for all manner of minorities and vocieless, who or whatever they are.Spot on!!
I'm a veggie attempting to go Vegan, daughter is a vegan, we are very pro animal welfare in all spheres, so anti the hunt shoot fish brigade. The other day I met one of her friends Dads. He's a dairy farmer!!! it was a very awkward conversation I have to say!!
"Hi, which is your daughter"
"Yeah Hi, that one there, she's the vegan"
"OH"
"Why is she vegan"
Few sentences about our animal wekfare concerns....
"But it's better to take calves away from the cow soon after birth to prevent bonding".................right, I needed to escape this conversation, so changed the subject to Prosecco, as everyone was drinking it!!! I knew he was never going to see my animal welfare issues as valid and I would never relate to the dairy industrys exploitation of cows.
Little later......
Stroking family dogs I asked if the farmer had collies.
"No, we have springers, I shoot"
Talk about being polar opposites!!
The best argument I was ever given as to why we should eat meet came from my boss who said
"Think of all the cows you are taking life away from, all the ones not yet born because you aren't prepared to eat them"!!!! Speechless
Perhaps Kyo had to point her out because the guy couldn't read?Why would you need to point it out?
Why not just say "That's my daughter over there"
It's almost as if by pointing out that she's a vegan to a dairy farmer you were deliberately trying to provoke.
I've lots of friends who are veggie but they respect others views.
I've never known them to force their opinions on to others.
Ooh that looks rather interesting for a future meal when son and his girlfriend next go out with us. She is a vegan and we have found it rather limited finding places to eat around here so far.http://www.letssee.co.uk/
I'll be popping in soon, when they'll have me, tried booking a table but they're full, for tomorrow.
Anyone been yet?
