Just another reason to dislike the terrorist sympathising skinny streak of apologist piss.

I think the argument for eating meat is certainly there. It is a simple expression of nature. You don't feed cats vegetables because cats are designed by nature to eat meat. Humans were designed to eat meat along with most edible things within our natural environment.

Nature cares nothing for any expression of equality or indeed fairness.

However the argument that we aren't bound to nature is a powerful one. We subvert nature all the time with drugs and medicine that increases our life span far further than nature would given a natural run of events. So I'm not against this idea either.

I think on this I've come to the conclusion that animal farming....like many forms of work...will fall to the advancement of automation. Eventually, like mobile phones this will spread to most industrialized countries.

Before this becomes the norm we will already have 'grown' meat that will be more healthy while tasting exactly the same. From looking into this we are not that far from the mass production stage on that already. I hope this succeeds.....Well, I'm sure it will succeed eventually anyway...price always wins.

There is, of course, a downside to this in terms of jobs. The much larger question of the effects of the advancement of automation on our societies is one that is yet to be answered.

Soon all this dividing society into strivers and deadbeats will become far harder to justify.

So in the future most of us will still be eating meat....but it just won't involve animal farming.

Genuinely can't see why a politician's dietary preferences should be anyone's business but their own?

I'm no more interested in his veganism than I am in whether he likes or hates Marmite, or can't handle a hot curry, or for some reason likes a donner kebab. Unless he's going to start eating babies, then I make take an interest

Rich in fibre, I'd imagine

Yes. Moral fibre I've been told....by vegans....on an hourly basis.

Beans are great and are cholesterol lowering. But it's a reality that baked beans have cholesterol.

Cholesterol is necessary for life. It's the level.

Stop being such a dick. There's good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Beans are a fantastic source of good cholesterol. Chicken, beef, fish, eggs etc. are laced with bad cholesterol.

And if you think that a vegetarian is talking about cans of Heinz when they talk about eating beans, you're ignorant. I don't think you are, you're just deliberately obtuse when facts get in the way of your opinions because being wrong doesn't comport with your self-proclaimed "alpha male" online persona.

You are saying with authority and certainty what the worlds best nutritional scientists cannot agree on.

There is no certainty and there are very few absolutes in current nutritional science.

There are no absolutes in science; that what makes science so much better than belief or faith. It's constantly being challenged to prove the current consensus right or wrong and, when it's wrong, they change the consensus. Faith and belief are absolutes that never change and, as such, are far more dangerous.
