For 99% of people who follow a religion, it is not something they choose. Therefore technically, they do have it from birth.

And i mention discrimination because of the PC brigade - which i agree with to an extent but think that todays standards take it too far. As of yet, it is not illegal to discriminate against someone based on lifestyle choices (such as which foods they eat, movies they watch, colour of their hair etc). Once it is illegal, then maybe it would earn a 12k compen case

The punishment should fit the crime and imo (i'm maybe biased given that i eat meat) making a mistake that doesnt breach someones human rights (albeit i believe human rights are used unfairly sometimes ie criminals) isnt a crime that merits a 12k payout.

When i buy a food product that has something i dont like in it (and isnt listed or implied as an ingredient or labelled wrongly) i dont go and ask for compensation, i throw it out and move on, because i'm an adult and thats what we do. At most i might ask them to exchange it.

12k smacks of ambulance chasing tbh.

Of course its something they choose, at least once they're about 14 and can understand what it is they believe.

adouglasmhor that's a nice idea of the manager. I forgot to mention they offered me some proper veggie ones which I refused for obvious reasons!

Yes by which time they've already been brainwashed if their parents were devout.

You obviously have particularly stupid friends then.

Yes, that is part of being a veggie, you restrict your choice, not through freedom, but fear. You never see a carnivore who devours a veggie meal, such as a Cheese and Onion Puff, our a Cherry Tomato Bolognaise do you. In fact, I quite like them. But when a decent piece of pork is given, they run off as though they have been devoured by some evil monster. You always notice that the meat eater proffers to cater for the veggie, but does the veggie reciprcoate?

No, beyond them, their ideals have to be catered for at all time, but when in a crowd out meat eaters, the truth runs out.

Me, I do not like Mayonaise on salads, so at the pub I always ask them not to give me any, I am polite and they give me what I want. At times when out with SIL (Veggie) we have to trapse round eating house after eating house becaus they are this and that.

Everyone is brainwashed. Brainwashing is only brainwashing if you don't agree with it.

A similar thing happened to my unkle's friend's wife with another well known supermarket. She threatened to sue and won £12,000 in an out of court settlement. It was in the papers

That's nothing, as a committed vegiterian I was shocked when a tin of mushy peas I was eating with a fork turned out to be a mislabeled tin of catfood, I had eaten almost all of it before I realised.

I demanded compesation and got £24k, didn't make the papers though.

Actually the only case I ever heard of with a substantial payout was a group of Buddhists who sued Ross Frozen foods because there was meat in a batch of pies wrongly packed and labelled as Linda McCartney Veggie ones.

A friend of mine had a similar experience with a girl he met in Thailand and found meat where it was not expected. As a strict vagitarian I imagine his shock mirrored yours.

Erm, yes, if it's that important to you.

I hate beans, of any kind, they make me heave, if I'm buying something that could possibly have beans in I double check to make sure there are none, easy peasy.
