Vegetarians and healthy eating nuts are ruining the diet of other people

i think it is interesting though,
i'm not anti-vegetarian at all, but i find it scary that there isn't more done by the people that choose that lifestyle to ensure the products they consume are ethical.
loads of meat eaters try and source their meat locally, and ethically and fair trade and organic and all those buzz words, but there isn't the same fervor for ensuring supply is properly controlled in the vegan/vegetarian/healthy eating crowd.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 23 Jan 2013, 15:14, Reply)

Of course vegetarians try to ensure the products they buy are ethical.
I don't have any figures to back this up, but I reckon proportionately they are more likely than meat-eaters to do so.
The problem is trying to do this against an enormous history of meat producing and meat industry by-products.
Anyone who thinks they are a vegan is seriously kidding themselves - we use animal by-products in far more things than you could realistically avoid.

If you can grow say Coffee on a field and that'll make you $1000 a year,
and grain you'll only get $350 a year, it's better to grow the coffee and import the grain. Not only for yourself but for the whole countries economy. It's globalisation.

The knee joints of a black baby.
They'll fit her eventually. ......

Knee-grows.

my dad has just had his knee done
i had to spend last week babysitting him. he is the world's worst patient. 1 week into a knee replacement and he is already complaining about golf, driving, the gym...

srsly though is your ma having both done at once? having seen how much my dad needed his other knee to support him when getting up etc, that might be hardcore??

they say if you get one done you likely won't get the other

well it depends on a few things
if you're fairly fit, you'll be fine. my dad has always been obsessed with fitness, and his muscles were so strong that they did all the work. 9 weeks to the day after his first one (6 years ago) he was on a jet ski in antigua. the problem was, it lengthened his leg by an inch when they fixed the knee, so after a while of limping around like that, his hip was getting fucked. so he had no choice.

i think it'll be fucking painful but not as bad as she might think, based on my dad's experience. he's certainly thrilled with them.

It's quite a bit bollocks, that article, but it's really quite amusing that most of the terribly worthy commenters
have utterly missed the point of the article.

Which is not that vegetarians/vegans are responsbile for shit in Peru, but more that vegetarians/vegans that use the arguement that meat is bad for society and the planet are hypocrites. Actually, fucking idiot hypocrites to boot, but that's by the by.

Strangely, "yeah well I've been a vegan for 20 years and never eaten quinoa" is not a valid counterpoint, you fucktard. Unless you're a statistically valid proportion of all vegans, on your own.

Maybe it was Bobby?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 23 Jan 2013, 17:05, Reply)

Bobby can't possibly be vegan
it's got to be impossible to be vegan and overweight. It's pretty tricky to be vegan and alive.

I can't be arsed to read that.
humans always fuck over other people

My day started thinking with sore arms and the brief promise of a snow day quickly dashed. Now it's snowing and it took ages to get home. Perhaps snow day and sleep tomorrow
