I very quickly stopped finding vegans irritating when I saw that people are literally killed by the fumes from actual lakes of pig poo poo in rural america, which probably isn't even the worst part of industrial farming's environmental consequences. So now, despite still eating meat, whenever a vegan starts up I just sort of nod along in miserable agreement, cos industralised agriculture is contributing to killing us all with deforestation and cow farts.

Yes, as a life long vegetarian who has never been about shoving it folks face, got to say that as soon as you say you don't eat meat someone has to jump in "oh but X is so yummy" etc etc and god it's dull. Which means I bring up my vegetarianism as rarely as possible. https://twitter.com/alan_butler/status/1057617637549793281

I had to check back through the thread to make sure I hadn't said anything mean about vegans that would damage my blossoming relationship with some of the higher ups in the chat thread. And I haven't. UNTIL NOW! Nah just joking, I consider vegans to be almost the same as normal humans. I think its a bit like how my parents are massive racists. You need a shock to the system otherwise you gradually come round to the idea with society but not really. Like I get it. Vegans. But nah. Granted to see a woman at my BBQ would be difficult to take. But I understand now. I would take it. Similarly. Recently, at Verbier, I'd planned for our group (some only vegetarian, not fully vegan) to come together during meal times by preparing together only meals in a tapas or like, wrappy, fashion, so there was no ONE meal as such just lots of different scoops of gunk, some meaty, some normal, some vegan. But no, it couldn't be done. Quickly the group stratified along food lines and separated into meat/non meat enclaves and whispers about the cleanliness/general worthiness of the other camps ran rampant. I was forced to ski into the wilderness and bemoan my lot in life. (Which I did gloriously) Maybe next season.

As someone who hates seafood and many vegetables and is constantly being told I'm 'missing out' I don't think lecturing others about what food is delicious or not has anything to do with being a meat eater.

I thirst for blood and if I am denied the blood of the wealthy I have to get it somewhere. I could probably be an unhappy vegetarian but I don't think I could ever do veganism because I don't know how to cook things without animal ingredients even if the meat isn't the focus, the majority of my cookery instruction growing up was basically how to slather the animal portion of the meal onto the vegetable portion to make it taste better. So while vegetables are nice I really struggle to prepare things I really like without using butter, lard, cheese, cream, or some other kind of animal fat as an ingredient. Would basically need to re-learn how to cook. I also draw the line at salads, what is the loving point in salad, it all tastes like eating a loving tree.

Lady Demelza posted:People who mock vegans for being evangelical have never met a committed carnivore. Yes, it is possible to have a proper meal that doesn't contain meat, in fact entire cultures have based their cuisine on vegetables and grains because that's what was in abundance. Had an 'interesting' conversation with the gammoniest guy in my office earlier this year which basically boiled down to him admitting that he wouldn't eat a meat substitute even if it was indestinguishable from actual meat. What the gently caress is wrong with people, meat is delicious, but I don't know how you can fetishise it so hard, it's just protein and fat and heme.

There are some really good salads: potato salad, coleslaw, lettuce+tomato+onion+vinegar, Russian salad, Waldorf, etc But yeah if your idea of "salad" is "a bunch of leafy greens" then I guess the only good one is spinach on its own. Spinach is the only leafy green I can eat by itself pretty much

What I found hard with going vegan is that if you cook authentic vegan food by avoiding faux-meat and "veganised" meat dishes all you're left with seems to be curries, stir fries or weird middle eastern stuff. Which is great if you like that sort of thing but I was raised on meat and two veg and didn't consume a SpiceTM until I was well into my teens so I found it really difficult to stick to. That said I do agree with it for the most part and find anti-vegans far more annoying than the most boorish vegans.

I can totally see that. It seems like a format of food issue to an extent? Like a stuffed squash or something, I guess more boring even is like a burger in a bun? I suppose thats the point of those pizzas I don't approve of.

Funny story, I was hospitalised with a form of IBS while I was vegan (unrelated but I was told the high fibre diet sped up my disease) and ended up going back to eating meat and dairy while I was in recovery. I could probably go back to it again now but don't want to risk it. Without being too graphic, the extra traffic would likely cause another flare up that I can't be bothered with. Sorry animals. I've taken a small amount of joy from telling that to pushy vegans I've met who wouldn't accept that I 'couldn't do it for health reasons'.

Then a larger vegan eats you and a yet larger one eats them and so it continues until eventually they get too big and split into hundreds of tiny veglings. The circle of life.

I can't fault extreme vegans and I think they do important work to a degree because otherwise most of this stuff just wouldn't be out there nearly as much. Just getting people to consider that eating meat can be controversial is a massive loving pain, imagine if they'd never heard of vegetarians /vegans before? The real problem with the vegan movement has already been noted above: 1) not considering the human cost to save animals (which is why my veganism cannot be separated from my socialism) and 2) boojie fucks who treat it as a social marker or something while ignoring the actual animal welfare bits, 'white veganism', etc.

Yes. Well, there is an alternative from British history: pottage! Which is basically any veg you have around stewed with pulses or grain and the odd herb. The trouble is that we are used to tasty food.

I can sometimes go a stretch of days where the only meat I have might be a few slices of pepperoni or chorizo or some meat stock and I don't realise it much at all and I could probably push it a bit more without problem provided every now and then I can still eat a humongous loving steak/bucket of kentucky. Helps that my wife is 98% veggie and a lot of stuff for veggies is so much loving better than it was 20 years ago

As a meat eater I've given strong considerations to taking up hunting, but it's quite a big time effort. Though I am unsure how ethical it is because it seems to me life as a wild animal is actuallt pretty hellish, maybe the ethical part is giving you a quick ending with a bullet as opposed to being torn apart by wolves or bears? EDIT: Another strategy I've wondered about is making meat last longer, mixing it with something else, maybe quorn? Soy something bits?

Quorn mince is the best imo, the texture isn't the same as real meat so it's not so good in the dishes you actually like & take pride in, but it's fine for everyday use. The sausages are alright too in sausage casserole & similar (but shite on their own) and the "chicken" fillets are a bit naff but you can make a bunch of quick and easy/tasty enough things with them. Also chicken-nugget-a-likes are pretty much the same as the real thing if you like crappy junk food, and the Swedish meatballs are alright. Yeah I know that isn't "real" vegetarian food, but I lift (and the macros on fake stuff are incredible, way better than meat). Borrovan fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Nov 1, 2018 |

Vegetarian food is actually really nice and cheaper than meat. Even if you've no plan to go Vegetarian try Bean Burgers or their weird Sausages sometime. They're legit good. I went vegetarian for a while and it was piss easy. I don't get the "It's so impossible to work out what to eat" when they pretty much have exact substitutes for literally any meat you can think of that also costs less.
