    The Easter Bunny has never laid an egg in its life ��
    Because almost all religions take on myths, traditions and stories from previous belief systems.

    You're being silly now. If it contains dairy products ...no.

    Or eggs or honey.
    I've been a veggie half my long life. Never quite stopped milk, although am trying.

    I'm veggie and will only eat cheese that does not contain parts of a calf 's stomach. Similarly I would not eat sweets that contain ground up animal bones, ie gelatine.
    I regret that I have not given up dairy products, but am reducing consumption a lot.

    Yea we dont eat Geletine either, a bugger when the kids were younger and going to softplay parties, always came out with a " goodie bag " with them small bags of Haribo, had to always remember to take a bag or a safe sweets ( though my girls did like the small bags of rasians ) to swap it with

    If they feel so strong about animal welfare why line the pockets of people who probably have a hand in slaughtering more cows than any other corporation on the globe.
    Just a thought, when they do walk into one of these establishments, do they do so with leather shoes on?

    I don’t understand veggies who don’t eat meat because of animal welfare. The dairy industry is just as brutal as the meat industry, so why abstain from one and not the other?

    Re: Why do Vegans.......?

    I haven’t read the thread but I can imagine how it’s gone. I haven’t eaten meat for nearly 20 years but have never really understood why meat eaters are so militant with their views. Give me a preachy vegan over an ill informed carnivore any day.

    Re: Why do Vegans.......?

    Lots of whatabouterism on this thread, as with a lot conversation about veggies/vegans.

    For some reason a lot of meat eaters can't go "you don't eat meat for personal reasons? ok" - they go "BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS, WHAT ABOUT THAT"

    The only thing I can think of is it's insecurity brought on by seeing people making a principled stand about something, it makes people incredibly defensive.

    Everybody knows that mass farming is cruel (and if you can convince yourself you don't, give it a quick search on youtube)
    Some people love meat so much they can turn a blind eye, fine - meat's delicious and it's a short life we've got so you might not want to deprive yourself of something you love. That's your choice.

    Others decide they'd rather not eat meat, which for some reason is a red rag to some meat eaters and leads to "WHY EAT PRODUCTS THAT LOOK LIKE MEAT? "WHAT ABOUT SHOES" "WHY AREN'T YOU VEGAN THEN" "CAVEMEN ATE MEAT" etc

    It's bizarre

    Don't get me wrong, I know there's a lot of preachy vegetarians and vegans, but I'd say proportionally there's just as many if not more preachy meat eaters. This thread's a good example - as far as I can see none of the veggies are digging the meat eaters out for their diet choices, not even me and I'm a level 5 vegan - I don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

    Do either or both of those tribes appear in any Star Trex episodes

    Re: Why do Vegans.......?

    Really quite surprising how many vegans/veggies there are on this board. Perhaps the club should do a FGR and just serve veggie food at CCS.
    You know you want to.

    I think this is a big part of it, I always remember having an arsey opinions of veggies and vegans for this reason when I was younger.

    What are vegan DM’s made of to be costing that much?

    Vegan Mock / fake Leather type material

    Rudy has pointed out that normal ones cost 120 - 130 quid, he is right, they do, so i guess its just the price of them
