The Vegan Thread

From fb:

"Quite ironic that the big vegan push is in January when most veg is out of season in the uk. This is just a small selection of veg on the shelf in the co-op, which if you look on their Facebook page is really promoting and trying to cash in on the vegan diet. These three items have food miles in excess of 16,600.😱That’s not including the avocados from chile. How is this diet supposed to be more sustainable than eating grass fed beef?
Don’t be stupid kids,eat British mince and tatties this January! 🇬🇧🥩 🐂"

I'm glad people go Vegan regardless. However the original reason for going Vegan - the animals - seems to get lost sometimes in amongst the diet and climate aspects. Also makes it easier for people in the meat/diary industry to dismiss Veganism in the media.
