"Quorn chicken" ???? How does that get past Trading Standards?
Very good question. Some years ago a company produced Hedgehog crisps. They didn't say Hedgehog flavoured crisps, but trading standards banned the sale because they didn't contain hedgehog. Surely the same must apply to any meat. Maybe there's a breed of chicken called a Quorn.
I've a friend that tries to eat ethically, buys only certain types of organic meat that he believes comes from better raised and farmed animals, and he only eats meat at the weekends, eating vegan pretty much for the rest of it.
Surely somebody is either vegan or not. A halfway house doesn't work. A bit like being a virgin most of the time.
Veganism can be a part time job. You still see vegans who keep cats and dogs which require farmed animals for their food. Even vegans who keep herbivore pets are being hypocritical in keeping an animal for their pleasure.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I had to laugh though - we had this debate a while ago about growing stuff in places where there's currently sheep. I won't go into it. Just spend a week or two on a hill farm in Wales, or up here
My curmudgeonly grump today - people who don't know what side of the road to walk on when it's a single track..... Runners who think they're 'special' in some way, and can't walk for five seconds to let a lorry go by, causing it to swerve instead, as she jumped onto the road. Oh- and she still wasn't 6 feet away from me.....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Regarding runners. I was watching a programme about heavy rescue vehicles. One was pulling a tanker out of a ditch, on a narrow road, so was on the opposite side to the vehicle being recovered thereby completely blocking the route. The tanker was actually moving when a runner came along and climbed over the cable between the vehicles. He totally ignored the recovery guy telling him to keep back and wait.
It is to be hoped that natural selection will sort the problem before breeding takes place. Although the way that kamikaze cyclists drag their offspring in carts behind their bikes would indicate that this is not always the case😕
Doesn't surprise me at all @KT53 - totally self absorbed. I've noticed that runners have become the 'new' cyclists during this period. I usually walk a bit later, but started going out first thing [taxi duties permitting] because the world and his wife seemed to have discovered they have legs, and it was becoming impossible to avoid idiots and their small offspring if you went out mid morning. The number of small children on bikes etc in the middle of roads is terrifying. The runners obviously go out earlier too. What's a girl to do? I may have to get up at five instead. I can't wait until we're allowed to drive a bit, and I can get on a hill away from these f*nnies.
