Run for your lives! Here come the vegans.

I'm gobsmacked. I wasn't intending to be patronising.

Yes I do have a chip on my shoulder. I can't get a single fucking thing right.

In which case I apologise. Text is not the best medium for expressing tone.

Well you've managed to get that chip on shoulder routine down well... that's one thing at least.

Tuck into those steaks while ye may, for the tofu surely cometh.

What was it Charlie Heston said about cold, dead hands? Same goes for my bacon & brown sauce butties...

It's about time Home Economics went back on the curriculum, what is the point in making maori compulsory if kids can't even cook a meal from real ingredients?

....
What's next. Compulsory calisthenics at day-break...?

I'm pleasantly surprised Pete Hodgson has time to do this AND accuse John Key of the various bits and pieces he may or may not have been personally involved with.

As for the exercise at daybreak comment, that's already partly in place. Schools are now tasked with exercise and dietary controls (my little boy does "Jump Jam" as part of his morning schooling). Apparently Parliaments looking to place learning responsibilities into CYPS' control... (p/t)

I am lucky, I don't like politics and don't eat steaks...........life is wonderfull.

Pete is my mate, he has no idea about health and I am still 2-0 up against him at the moment.............

He likes tomato ketchup with his chip too.....

Actually do you guys know what a vegan is??

[Skyryder]

Yes I do. And considering the amount of money that is going into the dairy industry veganism would be the last lifestyle this government would be advocating.

As for all the scaremongering...................all the government is proposing is giving information on healthy food. Red light Green light. No ones 'forcing you to buy it. .............so what's the fucking problem.

Remember a true Vegan will not wear anything produced from a dead animal, leather shoe etc. Otherwise they are not a true vegan. A lot of people claim to be vegan and often it is a fashion statement....

I agree that as usual the knee tremblers are out thinking the Govt is taking away their rights. We take away our own rights too often eh?

Vegan is a food thing. It is not as you say to do with clothing. There are many vegans who do not use animal products in apparel but those vegans who do are no less a vegan by doing so.

Sorry have to politely disagree.............Kiwi's think being a vegeterian means they can eat fish................

Definition - vegan:
strict vegetarian: using no animal products, dairy or eggs; animal derived products (leather, silk, etc.) not used.

You are correct....(this time)

So....not just a dyslexic Vogon then?
I'm surprised they're not going for the same kind of 'Social Outcast' tactics they used on smokers.
No eating in public places - fatty foods taxed heavily - pictures of obese people on fatty food packaging. Discrimination against fat people on public transport (since smokers were heavily discriminated against in so many areas ti's obviously acceptable to use discrimination innit?)

The kiwi vegetarians that I know certainly do not believe that they can eat fish.

Vegetarians and vegans are both food choices. Vegetarians do not eat flesh.

Vegans do not eat any animal product whatsoever. I will admit that today there is a belief that Vegans do not use any product whatsoever that is a derivitive an an animal process. Leather silk etc. This lifestyle is now associated with vegans. 'Bout as close as I can come to an agreement.
