Well I'm sat in the works canteen, just finished my sweet and sour quorn, feel vastly superior to the folks with dead animals on their plates just saying
Feeling != being, just saying.

So much lol right there, chicken oriental academics?there have been very good studies that show if we didn't start eating cooked meat then humans wouldn't have evolved into the intelligent species we are today. Sure, it doesn't mean we have to continue to do so, but given a choice between a vegan and evolution i know what i will choose.

Does this mean I might get hounded on the internet by the inevitable ******* hashtag brigade and thrown before the courts because I used to cook meat for my girlfriend at the time? She was a vegetarian, and then a vegan, and I used to tell her it was fake meat or that Beanfeast crap.
How screwed am I?
no we don't.
Great examples. Are you suggesting you don't get protein from dog meat? You don't eat dogs because you love them and they're part of your family.
And these "very good studies" are . . . ?
When you mention "intelligent species" are you referring to humans?
As a matter of interest, what exactly is it that you ingest / inhale that has led to this fanciful nonsense?
So.... we need to kill off a couple billion people so that there are enough animals for everyone to hunt and feed off naturally....?
I'm sure we'll invent several new diseases or strains that achieve this anyway... and the rest will work themselves to death once Amazon gets a little bigger.
Added bonus - The roads will have far fewer traffic jams!
Don't worry once antibiotics start to fail the old diseases will kick back in.
it's okay to breed plants/vegetables/crops just to be harvested and eaten though?

This is just absurd, plants obviously cannot experience suffering...
Veganism is of course a philosophy, the central principal behind it an ethical one of not wanting to cause suffering to animals.
Not sure that should make it a protected characteristic anymore than I believe religion should be one though.

If your goal is to stop animal suffering, the ultimate goal would be the extinction of all animal life.
It's a safe bet that most live stock (In the UK at least) will experience less suffering during their life span than one in the wild.
The human species evolved over 10s of thousands of years eating meat, we got even healthier when we started cooking it first as well.
though I'm not sure that battery chickens are better off than they are in the wild...
The species we evolved from would have eat meat. Like chimps do.
We also evolved to sometimes have a desire to kill individuals who are behaving in a way we don't like but doing so is generally frowned upon.
Because we have a trait borne through our evolution doesn't necessarily make it a trait that should be indulged.
Human beings are omnivorous and adaptable.
Yep agree with this I started off just eating fish but realised how rediculas this was 4 years now and I've reached a point where I find adverts of meat on TV quite disturbing I would happily welcome a. Ban on theseI'm a veggie and have been for 18 months now.i stopped eating meat as I felt like a hypocrite saying I love all animals .. but then I'd eat some of them. So for me it was for the animals and I literally do not miss meat or fish whatsoever.
It does annoy me though when people kick up a fuss over dogs being eaten or something... So you'll happy eat a pig or lamb but if a dog is killed and eaten.. no no no that's wrong..
Battery farming was banned 6 years ago by the EU and I believe specifically in the UK several years ago. The only ones available now are imported from outside of the EU.
Killing an animal for food and killing a human for behaving badly are not even remotely comparable.
