Hey Thomas

I personally have no issue with your starting these threads on the forum. I think Annette also showed enough interest to share his philosophy of meat-eating, pity you chose not to engage but I'll have another try. Do you really not see an ethical difference between organically raised and humanely slaughtered animals for meat and for example battery farming? Does it come under a single category: "slaughtered"? If so, why ask about Kosher/Halal, by the way? Would it be better, for example, than gettig old and starving to death, or being killed by predators?

Look forward to your thoughts

I'm a meat eater, by the way, but a choosy one.

Hey moos,

Sorry I didn't engage. Yes I think choosing locally sourced meat from free range organic small holdings is much better than buying meat from Morleys for example.

However I feel consumers of meat often use the phrase 'high welfare' to excuse the fact that they are growing a life just to be killed and its flesh eaten.

I never use the phrase 'high welfare'.


I prefer the phrase:


"I'll have the ribeye. Medium-rare".

Brilliant, Loz.

Thomas, I have no particular Hitler axe to grind, and I'm sure you know that people only wheel out the f?hrer in any argument about vegetarianism to get a rise out of veggies. Nevertheless, I feel obliged to point out that your link to a wacky-wackster website (breast cancer is caused by a "life force stagnation", REALLY???) links through to only one source.


Have a look at all the sources on Wikipedia*, for there are many. Most suggesting that he was vegetarian, only a couple suggesting that he was not. So while we may never know the definitive truth, your absolute certainty seems wildly misplaced.



*and I make no bold claims for Wikipedia, however, in this instance, the article cites many sources

It is the responses that are tedious. If people think these threads are tiresome, why keep them alive by responding?

I agree with some of T's points but not all of them - yet the vilification that he is subjected to on these boards, seems....bizarre.

OK I've had several glasses of red, but I just want to say, if people didn't eat meat, then there would be very few

cows, sheep, pigs or hens in the countryside, if any. At least they have a life, even if a fairly short one.


And I personally think battery farming is a load more cruel than animals getting their throats slit.


I used to live on an organic farm. Strange as it may seem, the farmers really cared for their animals, and their welfare, even though they were going off to be slaughtered at the end of the day.


I was a vegetarian once. Now I'm not. But I would never knowingly eat animals who had spent their lives in a cruel environment.

Well shhh*hic*-aid Sueee.

"Championing the environment over human greed"


That's not what you're doing Tom. You're being endlessly disingenuous and frankly very dull, which is putting me off my sausages - a crime against humanity in my book.


Why don't you go and start a thread about something unconnected with eating/not eating meat and prove that you're not just a single issue pillock?

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
