I just love this comment....... maybe a clue as to where Diane Abbott gets her maths from too....

"indeed there are quite a lot of vegan MPs actually – not a lot but there are some.’

Lot of ground breaking news at the moment: woman having baby, new left party leader a vegetarian.

That's because there is nothing important happening in the world at the moment like announcing new contestants for Strictly Come Dancing or I'm a Celebrity

Corbyn only eats vegetables?

Well, you are what you eat.

Doesn't that make you a 12" pianist. Damn autocorrect.

Proof that Corbyn really does live in an Islington bubble.

Being a vegan is quite time-consuming and expensive (if you don't want to die of malnutrition).

12 inch p****? Edit - for goodness sake, the word is anatomically correct!

I've been known to tickle the ovaries from time to time.

Bloody autocorrect.

That's the best 'quip' since I've been on HOL. Well done.

I heard this on 5live this morning...

Q: How can you tell that someone is a vegan?

A: Because they tell you they are. Every time you meet them.

As a vegan I've heard that many times but truth is most vegans dont go around telling everyone they are vegan because most vegans know that people have a stereotypical vegan in mind and dont want to fit that stereotype. Truth is sometimes its difficult not to tell people you are a vegan as it will invariably come up if you are eating out together or people take an interest in what you are eating.

It's one of the world's great coincidences that many vegans happen to be complete tools.

Sake, don't live up to the stereotype in the literal post above this one.

I have some respect for vegans. They aren't hurting anyone and it'd take a special kind of arsehole to dislike them because of their choices which are in no doubt well intentioned. My issue comes from constantly hearing about it from some (not all).

For example, there's a thing called Vegan Runners. Runners who wear special vests to tell everyone what their diet is. I feel that if I ran in a vest that said "I like beef best and chicken. Pork and lamb to a lesser extent. I don't like fish, mushrooms or anything a bit weird...." people would wonder why I felt the need to give them such an insight into my life.

Good luck to vegans, good for them, but it's a personal choice and not something that requires four or five Facebook posts a day to advertise (in some cases).

They do, usually it only comes up when talking about food or drink.

Jeremy is 'in the process' of becoming vegan but if my experience is anything to go by there will probably not be a time when you are vegan.

It's a gradual awakening to what you may be doing to yourself physically and psychologically as a result of eating a dead animal and what may be in it.

Meat has to be concealed as in a curry or something and chicken doesn't have the same effect on me.

But the thought of a steak yuk.

I find pastas fish etc. quite acceptable and tasty.

All food I consider a supplement to my red wine cabernet sauvignon diet.

If all else fails drink water all the time.

And what would that be exactly?

Have you heard of orthorexia?
