Quorn Mince (as it's the only Quorn product I have tried) tends to make me fart a lot whereas the 5% fat mince doesn't
Well said.I don't really care and in the grand scheme of things it makes no difference to my life as I will continue to enjoy eating meat.
However, this is a discussion forum and someone has asked a question regarding it so I've put my thoughts and opinions forward because that's what you do on a discussion forum. From this a certain percentage will agree with me and a certain percentage will have differing thoughts (and, of course, an incredibly small percentage will respond along the lines of 'that's silly' or 'who cares' without really offering any further discussion) because that's just the way discussions/debates work, not just on a railway forum but in life in general.
What I will say to you is that I find it quite ironic that you've come onto this thread, responded to a number of posts and then asked me 'who cares?'. Well in answer to your question (again, just to reiterate, that's what generally happens when a question is asked) you clearly care!

it is a personal choice - that is the be all and end all. It is nothing to do with you or me or anyone yet it seems you and others have got your nickers in a twist over something inconsequential. it is almost as if you see it as threat in some way!
Are you really that blinkered to your own responses in this thread, that you believe it is me who has my 'nickers in a twist'?
As I've said before, the question was asked and I responded with my thoughts. If that in someway upsets you then maybe discussion forums are not a healthy place for you to visit
sigh. You and others seem to be very upset that people have chosen not to eat meat and meat derived products and then complain when people point out how silly it is that you are worried about a personal choice taken by people you don't know! So what if people are making this choice based on fashion, fad or social media likes. It is their choice!

Show me where I've become upset about veganism then? It's about time you backed up some of your comments with proof of what you're saying - it gets very tiring seeing your belittling and pointless responses such as 'that's silly' instead of you actually offering counter arguments

Enjoy you murdererRight, I am off for a ham and mustard sandwich
Is this based on fact, or just guesswork?
Can vegans not make compromises over environmental issues just like everybody else does?

Methane is an issue, but it's solvable. The bigger issue is clearing of land for grazing (or for growing soya to feed the cattle).
The water requirement is also quite hefty.

The simple method is adding oils to the cow's diet - it reduces methane production by aroundOut of interest, what are the proposed solutions?

lets just hope you don't get caught by one of these flying overhead!
edit-you're safe!! methane just a little denser than air.
just don't light a ciggie at the back end!
A pound is also a unit of weight!This is the UK not America, a pound is a unit of currency!
It's a secondary unit of measure since 1965 but an accommodation in 1995 was made for those that still didn't understand counting in 10.A pound is also a unit of weight!

it's still classed as 8000 grains of barley(the original lb)No it isn't the Si unit of mass is the (kilo)gram.
A pound as a unit of mass is obsolete and has no meaning in the modern world.

For some it is their ethical issue, either because they can't accept that human beings are by default omnivores or they just can't envisage themselves eating anything that lived as an animal, (as opposed to a plant). Some claim that vegan diets make the least impact on global carbon levels, (as they munch away at their quinoa shipped in from Peru and Bolivia). Few consider that exclusive exposure to a vegan diet can cause various malnutrition conditions, especially processed oven-ready vegan dishes in supermarkets. So token veganism such as going to Waitrose (or any other chain supermarket) to buy boldly labelled vegan prepared food almost certainly is a fad and in a year or two will probably fade away.
The minority who take the trouble to study their diets and cook from raw ingredients may well move more towards a typical indigenous vegan diet, but they are probably already into genuine vegetarian diets anyway IMO.
That said, as with any type of diet you need to make sure that you eat a good varied and balanced diet to ensure that you get all the nutrients that you need. In theory, there shouldn't be any nutrients that the human body needs that are only found in meat and fish. In practice, though, I guess everybody's body is different, and maybe some people's bodies find it harder to adjust to a plant-based diet or absorb nutrients such as protein and iron from plant-based sources.
Healthline said:Nutritionally balanced vegetarian and vegan diets are very healthy.
However, a few nutrients are impossible or difficult to get from commonly consumed plant foods.
If you plan to completely eliminate animal-sourced foods, plan your diet, take dietary supplements, and make sure that you’re getting everything your body needs.
If you want to go down that route, why are out eyes not on the sides of our heads like pretty much all herbivores?If we were meant to be carnivores, we would have claws to catch our prey!
