"If you fully understood the issues around dairy farming with regards to environmental destruction and animal cruelty, your comments would be so flippant." I’ll be as flippant as I darn well choose. Milk is excellent food for children. Who needs avo frickn cado? Climate change is bought on by deforestation and transport of fruit and veg too. | |||

Babies can be fed from their mothers until they are two or longer so cows milk is not really needed. Also, not everyone is vegan/dairy free through choice. | |||

"If they are breaking the law then I hope that they’ll be prosecuted accordingly. If they are found guilty, then the dairy farm should then sue for lost earnings and any damages." Preach. Absolutely. | |||

"Milk is excellent food for children. Who needs avo frickn cado?" Milk is an excellent food for children… of cows! We as humans don’t need cows milk. Modern agriculture is destroying vast quantities of forest at ion to clear land to grow crops to feed cattle to be used for beef and dairy… which we don’t need. The planet is at the tipping point of no return… Yes, some avocado production isn’t ethical, and is challenged and rightly so. But it can be ethically produced. | |||

"Do vegans use things like bleach or sprays to actively kill 99% of germs? If they do are germs not living organisms and therefore shouldn't be killed? Not wanting to make light of anyone's life choices but Mr A was question this yesterday when he noticed the kitchen wipes were ok for use by vegans." i guess cleaning products probably still have nasty chemicals in them, but in your example the wipes won't contain any animal products To your second point.. There clearly are lots of people, vegan +non-vegan who try not to cause harm to waterways etc and will try to use non-harmful chemical products.. I guess with all things it requires a level of consciousness, combined with desire and an understanding of impact(s) | |||

I wasn't being flippant, the news article states they are unhappy with the methane gas produced. We are talking here about an illegal protest. It's not a thread about animal cruelty. | |||

Funny how we all sat back and allowed the government to reduce our rights to protest… The particular protest is concerned with the environmental impact of dairy production, not just the methane produced by cattle. | |||

It's about time us Nazis blocked a few Jews. Those Christians are blocking the road again. It's about time us non Christians blocked a few Christians. Those working classes are blocking the road again. It's about time us Factory Owners blocked a few workers. Those homeless are blocking the road again .......... By the time the ignorant people learn what the blockades are for - it will be too late for them and their families. Vegans are not just animal mad crazies..... they have a view of the future..... Those earthlings are blocking the way again ....... it's about time we non earthlings roasted a few more earthlings... | |||

"I grew up on a dairy and lamb farm. Our small heard was looked after and treated well. They came into the milking parlour on their own accord with my pet pony in with them. Do I think we're breeding cows to produce too much milk these days? Yes. So I think we should go back to a more sustainable way of farming also yes.

"I grew up on a dairy and lamb farm. Our small heard was looked after and treated well. They came into the milking parlour on their own accord with my pet pony in with them. Do I think we're breeding cows to produce too much milk these days? Yes. So I think we should go back to a more sustainable way of farming also yes. But people want their cheap milk so supermarkets push farmers to the max.

That's the thing, public demands low priced food, supermarkets give them it. So the whole farming industry suffers. I've seen a lot of noise about how badly dairy cows are treated. But the farms I go on the ladies are waiting by the gates waiting to come off the fields to milk. These are however, small scale Welsh farms. Ours tend to be tiny to our English equivalents. | |||

"Do vegans use things like bleach or sprays to actively kill 99% of germs? If they do are germs not living organisms and therefore shouldn't be killed? Not wanting to make light of anyone's life choices but Mr A was question this yesterday when he noticed the kitchen wipes were ok for use by vegans. i guess cleaning products probably still have nasty chemicals in them, but in your example the wipes won't contain any animal products To your second point.. There clearly are lots of people, vegan +non-vegan who try not to cause harm to waterways etc and will try to use non-harmful chemical products.. I guess with all things it requires a level of consciousness, combined with desire and an understanding of impact(s) " I clean my decking, patio, , bathroom, widows, kitchen with hot water with a tiny amount of bio hand soap and tiny bit of powdered bleach , it’s way less harmful and saves having loads of totally unnecessary cans and bottles of cleaners . You don’t need to be vegan or activist to think , research and look after the planet and your finances. | |||

In my opinion it should be the supermarkets these people should be protesting towards and pay a fair price for milk, eggs and everything else." I was at a talk by Chris Packham the other weekend and he made this very point. Allow farmers get a realistic price reflecting the true cost of the chicken, milk, etc. so they can invest in more sustainable, ethical and ecological farming. I agree. | |||

Should i (vegan) subsidise your* (non-vegan) poor choices??

"Why don't we all go back to foraging, gathering and hunting? Supermarkets have made life way too easy for us. Are some of you forgetting exactly why farming was taken up? To feed an ever increasing population. Stop breeding more mouths to feed maybe?" Farming was actually taken up between 20 and 30,000 years ago to increase calories for less effort than hunting and gathering. The process of switching to cereal for the bulk of calories and stockpiling food is what created diseases and wars and more people now die each year of overeating than under eating. So stopping breeding won’t actually help, we need to change what we eat | |||

That's not proof, and I suspect those sites have their own bias. I'm doubtful they are peer reviewed. On a personal level I had to go diary free for 2 years for my breastfed children. And it impacted my health negatively. But I don't judge others health or anything else. And I'm glad you've improved yours with your diet | |||

"I think it is wrong to tell people that they are making poor choices simply because they decide to eat meat." It wasn’t me that said that. I was countering your statement that there was no evidence a vegan diet was healthier. There is lots of evidence if you choose to look it up. So, if I believe a vegan diet is healthier, then by default I would be saying choosing to eat meat is a pour choice. It is, especially if it’s processed! Would it be wrong to say someone is making a poor choice if they lived on junk food, used tobacco, or drank to excess? | |||

Is it right? I cannot judge, that’s not my place and it’s not what my post is about I guess, just the reality of farming. No more. No less | |||

So if we reduced the preventable health related things, then maybe there would be more budget to support people who need other services?? My friend needed fertility treatment.. Its expensive, so they could only have 2 goes on the NHS.. They self funded a further 6 themselves, but it didn't have the outcome they hoped for. The choices we make are up to us.. But there is cause and effect all around us This is not a personal pop at anyone, just discussion thoughts... i think the thread has been quite enlightening in honesty and 'food' for thought | |||

There isn't much of an animal I wouldn't eat, including heart, liver, kidneys, trotters etc. I enjoy eating meat. I like. The taste, the texture, the smell.

It is synthetic whether you absorb it from an animal that has been injected, or whether you drink it through your choice of milk(s) etc If you are not a healthy individual you should not be shamed into not taking whatever vitamins or supplements that you need But that's the point most people that have a healthy balanced diet that doesn't exclude any of the food groups don't need any vitamins or supplements. I agree - healthy balanced diet (that's not what he was implying tho)
Healthy and balanced means you don't cut out any food and vegans do. "No. It means that all macros are balanced and food GROUPS are not overlooked. Vegans get all their protein from plants. They don't cut out food GROUPS. Non vegans don't necessarily eat a wide range of food groups. | |||

"There's a few of you who appear to be vegan on this thread and I was thinking on the weekend. Do you have pets? And how does that work with the vegan ideologies? " Great point! And one I’ve considered as I’ve a dog. In the strictest, theoretical terms it is wrong, as the animal is being exploited for human gain. But the upside is the animal has a very happy and nurtured live with their needs and welfare taken care of. Puppy farms, and many types of dog breading, is abuse. | |||

So does this mean vegans tend to own mutts rather than predigree dogs due to breeding for aesthetic looks alone? | |||

"Healthy and balanced means you don't cut out any food and vegans do. BOLLOX! Healthy and balanced can be achieved with a vegan diet. Before you spout bullshit actually do your research. Meat and dairy are not essential to a balanced diet. Understand nutrition, vitamins, etc and actually study the subject. If you think you cannot have a healthy balanced diet as a vegan you are simply incorrect! Most vegans will have a healthier than average diet because we care about such things." Why don't you learn to be polite and have a civilised debate! I have got that information from the NHS website so I suggest you take it up with them if you disagree on the definition of a balanced diet and calm down a little! | |||

"Fucks given = 0 I eat meat over chemicals You can get vegan junk food, which I guess is what you’re eluding too, but depending on what you eat, your meat isn’t chemical free either! When most vegans need to supliment there poor diet with vitamin this and vitamin that to get the nutrients required as an omnivore your just pissing in the wind, Everyone in the western hemisphere is recommended to take vit D Otherwise, if you are a healthy individual, eating your daily dozen, the only other thing we need is B12..

It is synthetic whether you absorb it from an animal that has been injected, or whether you drink it through your choice of milk(s) etc If you are not a healthy individual you should not be shamed into not taking whatever vitamins or supplements that you need" Vitamin B12 is naturally occurring in all animal sources of food, but most predominantly in the liver and muscle tissue (including human liver and muscle tissue). Far smaller quantities are secreted in animal milks or eggs. Grazing animals only require supplementation if being grazed on soils deficient in cobalt. The above statement is scientifically accurate and is not intended to fall on on side or other of the vegan/non-vegan debate. | |||

I used to miss the taste of fish, when i stopped eating meat. I found i could recreate the "smokey" flavour though, using alternative methods. Sort of like vaping i guess. | |||
