This kind of medical report really irritates me. Some medics have done research and got it published (they have to get more senior positions) regardless of how this will impact people's perception of medical advice.


I suspect most non-vegetarians will have read this report and thought - sod off. It is SO unrealistic that it is positively unhelpful. Medical advice needs to be realistic and ease people toward a more healthy lifestyle - not try and create a totally healthy life - its impossible. Go ahead, live off lentils and fish and get run over or die of skin cancer.


Eat a bit less of the naughty stuff, move around a bit more and you will feel better and maybe then you will then eat a little less of the naughty stuff and be able to move aound a little more; and so on.


People will rebel against this totalitarian message. I wouldnt be at all surprised if sales of bacon now go up.


Grrr ..

But hang on. We know smoking is bad for us so the government eventually took action. It is now taking action aganst parents with obese children because they will 'cost' us more in health bills and other drains on the social system. Now, why should this be any different? Surely irresponsbile meat eaters are being subsidised (NHS wise) by vegetarians and vegans? Does the government not owe a duty ensure public health is a priority?


There should be a tax on meat for the ill effects it has and also because it's not environmentally friendly. Do you know how much methane a cow produces? All that foodstuff is inefficient.


The sooner we all become vegans the lower the tax bill and the better our consciences.

Sensationalist bollocks in my opinion. Not the actual findings of the research but the way in which it has been communicated. This kind of stuff is a media wet dream. ?Let?s tell everyone they?re going to die.?


Anyway I?m a firm believer that we have every right to do whatever the hell we want even if it is bad for us.


Pound for pound cows produce about as much greenhouse gas as humans do. Except they don?t drive cars.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
