DVVS "self help group for those with a hatred of humans" now that's a quote for the website!

(Ps. Hitler wasn't a veggie, his doctor encouraged it for his health but H just didn't have the staying power)

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.

"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?

      Local Dietician ?

      By Sue · Posted

      Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By ianr · Posted

      If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
