  • And give up bacon? Never.

    And a Heaven in a wild flower,
    Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
    And Eternity in an hour.

    If God wanted us to be vegetarian why did he make animals out of meat?

    This isnt a thread for attacking people or pushing your views on other people.

    pm'd a mod to keep an eye on the thread so it stays on topic.

    The OP has posted this as a freebie where you will get invited to a meeting to discuss veganism along with free health checks and goody bag.

    Please keep your own views on the topic to the fact this is a freebie, as a board we are not here to discriminate against people on the basis of their beliefs, so all be nice or I will lock the thread :D

    It is already a documented fact that plants react to being injured usually giving off some kind of chemical signal, Just cause they not scream when you cut, boil, roast etc doesn't mean they didn't suffer.

    End of the day its your choice to eat whatever you want. Forcing views on people is just as bad as trying to force a religion on someone.
    A good post for Vegans.

    You & all humans are all made out of meat.

    Wow thats a cheek, I was not the one to change the topic. Everytime a Vegetarian or Vegan product is mentioned along come someone who changes the topic by saying something silly like I like my bacon' etc. That was the change of topic.
    Nice to save.

    Would love to go to this if i lived in London ,i have been vegetarian for years and i am a hopeless cook ,to be shown through ideas and have advice would be great just going vegan seems so hard.I'm sure its not ,thats why this is such a good idea!

    Never understand people who feel they want or need to eat meat as there is so much choice now,its so unnecessary.
