Getting more and more confrontational. Keep your own ideas to yourselves.
They will be advocating we all have no children soon despite the fact the worldwide child birthrate is falling already.
More hot air causing climate warming from their mouths than any other source.
When the acolalypse comes, vegans wil provide a healthy meal for us carnivores.
Vegans must fark a hell of a lot more than meat eaters. I mean eating all kinds, of beans and, what not.
It's easy to know when AlwaysAway has taken delivery of each month's case of Yemenese or Cameroonian rosé wine because he submits bizarre messages here for however many days it takes him to neck it all.
There's good reason why 12 70cl bottles works out at just 89p each. I reckon he's really getting bladdered on coloured windshield wiper fluid.
In the not-too-distant future meat will be grown in laboratories using cell cultures to produce muscle fibres. The implications will be vast. No more livestock farming as we know it, maybe just a few specialist farms for the "connisseurs" who will pay extortionate prices for "real" meat. The end of veterinary medicines with consequent elimination of the huge volumes of antibiotics given to food producing animals. Vast reduction in the number of vets required. Reduction in greenhouse gas production (methane) and more land dedicated to planting trees or plants for human consumption rather than for producing food for animals. Thousands of farmers released to grow cereal/vegetable crops etc.
Maybe you can think of other examples.
that same " meat " could well be plant / fungi based though
a prime example is the " beyond " and " impossible " range

https://impossiblefoods.com/
The latter uses plant based heme and recreate that " meat " texture
The Beyond range when cut after cooking even gives out " blood " is its cooked rare,
We have been eating Beyond meat when on holidays in the us for a few years now, it has recently arrived in the UK, in the US I watched a program about beyond meat, more than a 1/3 the people they served in this diner couldnt tell it was plant based,
There's a great deal to be said for vegetarianism and veganism for all sorts of reasons, from animal welfare to saving the planet.
There's not a great deal good I can find to say about vegans though, or at least not the 'born again Christian' variety. They were eating meat six months go but now believe anyone who does is a "corpse-munching ****", as I was called the other day. This type of vegan - and in my experience they are in the majority - is one of the biggest obstacles to getting people to eat less/no meat.
True, anybody who's militant and preachy immediately gets people's backs up and isn't helpful at all. There's ways and means of getting people to understand your cause and being aggressive and superior is not one of them. Arguably just as bad though are those who insist on eating meat with a "I want to eat as much as I can of it and f**k the consequences" attitude.
Even putting aside the cruelty factor, a lot of studies are showing that the production of meat is incredibly bad for the planet. I'm not saying EVERYBODY HAS TO GIVE UP MEAT because that's unrealistic and, again, not a helpful attitude but even if those who do still enjoy it made the effort to cut down, maybe have a couple of days a week where they do go veggie then across the board that would make a difference.
I'm not vegan by the way. I don't eat meat but I do eat fish (which I should cut down on but waaah it's not easy because I still miss sausages and chicken drumsticks, but I'm working on it)
The only things closing down quicker than pubs, is Vegan restaurants
I'm all in favour of the increase in vegans and vegetarians. Because if them the consumption of meat per capita in Britain is going through the floor, so I can keep knocking back six double cheeseburgers a week and feel like I'm doing my bit for the environment
