New £5 note angers vegans and vegetarians

jimjamuk · 29 Nov 2016 at 16:03

on a more serious note (no pun intended) at least for that poor cow all of its parts are being used and not lust wasted after the tasty bits have been cut away

Don't use the new fivers. Simple.

Some people are just pathetic little whiners

It seems unlikely that tallow is necessary for making the banknotes,

it isn't added for fun, it improves the properties of the polymer.

Snoopers charter gets pushed through and this is what people focus on?

Pathetic.

Why don't they protest against something useful, like shark finning for example. That is horrific.

My wife works at a health food shop, a lot of militant vegan customers, mostly over weight , spotty with awful hair. Tough XXXX about the new fivers, if they don't like it go cash free of shut the XXXX up

Our bodies are built to eat meat and our taste buds designed to enjoy it, so jog on. I'm having a bacon butty in your honour.

JunglistE said:
Think you're taste buds are broken, pal. There isn't s single vegetable that tastes as good as meat.

However, fruit, that's an entirely different subject

So does Swede and brussell sprouts.

Super LOL. I'm 43 and haven't eaten meat for longer than I can remember. I've never liked it (as far back as I can remember) and used to swap meat for sprouts with my sister when I was really small. around 2000 I tried to eat it again when I met my now wife but its just vile, I cant stand the texture and I'm not a fan of meat substitute foods that taste / feel like meat either.

Enjoy your bacon sarny though MooMoo, they say bacon is meant to be tempting but the smell of it makes me feel slightly sick. The only meat that I suspect I could eat is liver as I remember it not tasting / feeling like actual meat.

To probably enrage you even more I eat fish hahahahah!

Are my credit cards vegan?

Well at least you're not claiming to do it to prevent animal suffering. I've never understood those that are vegetarian but eat fish whilst proclaiming the aforementioned reason.

If it's taste then who am I to argue that

. I've only ever really liked bacon or chicken rest make me feel kinda sick

Probably not. As well as every time you hold one you're crushing millions of innocent bacteria you monster!

Fish is meat :/ why do people separate the two?

At least you didn't call yourself a vegetarian. That grinds my gears sometimes.

People still use cash???

Personally speaking when people ask (if say we are going out to dinner or at friends) its easier to describe yourself as veggie than the faff of explaining the whole meat/fish nonsense

As an advocate for technology, hope the millions turn to use contactless payment on their smart phones. A world could do without coins and notes.

antijoke · 29 Nov 2016 at 17:01

This planet is ****ing insane I tell you.

The things people will moan about these days. I swear we are already in hell and we didn't even notice we got there.

It could but what will we use when the inevitable happens and something gets hacked and broken. Besides chances are there's some animal products used in the creation of said smart phones

They eat cheese and that is normally wrapped in lard or drink wine that may have finings made from animal products. Wear leather. It is very hard to avoid animal products.

Bar the odd steak or two I could easily switch to a fish only diet if only it was possible to get very highly quality fish easily.
