I assume he means he has beef with every meal, as opposed to he literally just eats beef and nothing else. Just watched it, he claims... just beef. The interviewer asks if he even has any ketchup with it (Ketchup... really???) he replies, no just beef She then asks him about the benefits, he claims to have lost 50ibs, stopped snoring and an auto-immune condition has gone away He's also talking like someone on mogadon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably would lose weight, you'd be eating zero carbohydrates. But you'd also be horrendously malnourished I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2018 He's a moron, ignore him. The beef thing will be him taking a contrarian position to continue to get the attention of the dumb 'MRA'/right on idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 He's the same bloke who had that interview with the Channel 4 newsreader isn't he? I'm not sure he's a moron but he does seem to troll a bit for attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I had - "Harissa baked aubergine, spiced chick pea, kale & onion stew with lemon & pomegranate dressing". It was one of only two non-meat options on the menu. It was not good.

StefanAVFC Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 In East Asian cuisine, veganism isn't far from a meat eaters diet tbh as they barely use dairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know, but it was the presumption that as a Vegan you would have to lower your standards of what "amazing" food was that I was commenting on. You wouldn't have called that dish you had amazing.

No, I guess I was just expressing my frustration that as some who (like you, from what it seems) is trying to eat more consciously, many of the options are underwhelming to say the least. This was not in a backwater establishment either - rather a well liked gastro-pub in Richmond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was not in a backwater establishment either - rather a well liked gastro-pub in Richmond. Yeah it's definitely an issue. I think it's better these days, but even for me who's only 4 months in to being a vegetarian, I've had an experience where there was one veggie option on the menu. And it was a very plain salad. It definitely requires me to check ahead for where we're eating to make sure they have a good choice. Luckily my family and friends (the few friends that i would go out for a meal with) have been really good in making sure I'm accommodated... so far! Veganism must be a whole other kettle of fish though. I imagine you basically have to pick the restaurant, regardless of who is going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-46111505 Quote Staff at a farm shop offering a "pick your own Christmas turkey" service say they have received death threats. The words "Murder" and "Go vegan" have been spray-painted on the door at Greendale Farm Shop in Woodbury Salterton, Devon. And that's why veganism will never take off, too many nutters. Minority maybe, but permanently plays host to the PETA type maniacs. Shit like this always wants me to order non-stop steak for ever, even though I do want to cut down on meat, a bit.

Nottingham is amazing as well. everything from pub grub, to multiple indian, chinese, to a Michelin star restaurant. There's a couple of proper barbecue/steakhouse type places which are obviously a no go, but pretty much everywhere else has at least a few vegan options, if not a separate vegan menu. In the last couple of years, it seems to have caught on so much restaurants don't have much of a choice, it only takes one vegan in a group to essentially rule out your business if you can't provide anything. One of the fortunate/unfortunate side effects, depending on who you ask, is it's put out of business a few small vegan/veggie restaurants that were really, really shit but had managed to stay in business for years by having a captive audience.
