The problem we are up against is everyone has the image of lovely, fluffy badgers galloping about, but cows are also entitled to lives
Thought for the Day
Religion may in most of its forms be defined as the belief that the gods are on the side of the Government.
Bertrand Russell, 1872 – 1970, British philosopher
More Rubbish from The Guardian
Here’s a link to a Q and A they published on veganism:
Can you stay fit and strong as a vegan? Her teenage son starts university next year, and she’s worried that a vegan diet will expose him to colds and infections. Three experts try to boost his diet – and her confidence
They have three experts answer. A dietician. A chef. And a supplements specialist.
Why not ask a vegan?
What’s more!
They published on The Guardian Web site a correction!
Contrary to the article below, Quorn products are not suitable for vegans as they contain egg white. The same piece recommended soya milk as a source of vitamins D and B12, but these are only found in fortified soya milk. Vitamin B2 and not, as we said, B12, is present in wheat germ, yeast extract and avocado.
And we rely upon these people to provide us with accurate information! Let’s hope their reporting on the war in Iraq is not as flawed.
More on the Stupid Guardian and Observer
Here’s another one. This time it’s about “Veal, without the cruelty.”
Oh, perlease.
The Guardian and The Observer
Living in England now and one enjoyment to be relished is The Guardian and it’s sister Sunday paper, The Observer, but for reasons not abundantly clear both papers have an ignorant attitude about animal issues. Last week’s Observer magazine had a gratuitous front page photograph of a chef clutching a pig’s head to his groin as if he was about to fuck it. This week’s issue has a stupid article about “happy meat.” With the first article, there is some stupid premise about “let’s ask the top chefs what they would eat if it was their last meal.” Of course, every animal killed for meat is their life taken for a moment’s pleasure for a selfish human regardless of whether it was their last meal or not.
With newspapers like these who needs enemies?
Canton Dog Park Honored
The Grumpy Vegan in a former life was the founding president of the Canton Community Association in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. One of CCA’s projects was the dog park and a major fundraising event we instituted was the annual Howl-A-Ween Fancy Dress Dog Competition, which is recognized as #1 Wacky Event for October by the AOL Local City Guide’s monthly Strange, Weird, and Wacky Events Listing!
