Lunch

Hi Steve and all; Thanks for the recipies and in sundays
Toronto sun newspaper it states seal is now becoming
quite popular in main stream restaurants so give it a try.
I feel sorry for robbie he seems a bright lad but if you
want to talk cool,shoutdowns don’t work.Come on over
and get to know us.:)

I like vegetarians.

But I couldn’t eat a whole one.

Hi Steve; That looks tasty! Calling Chef Ramsay,i thought
i would have taken out and hung by now.My main issue
is that the EU want to destroy one of our first people;
These folk after the hunt use the pelt for extra income
in a place milk is $6 a litre if they can’t supplament thier
income what then? A proud culture back on welfare?
The EU politboro should mind thier own bee’s wax;
look what they’ve done to our cause and god help
you find farmmade sausages inthe countryside.
CDA has 5 million seals,harvest 125 000.Beatle boy
sure invested millions to change the industry and
development of the Maritimes did he?Steve how’s
that koala doing? I hope ya’ll are recovering well
after the fires.
Mark.

Yes My friend the Koala’s are all recovering after some TLC from some very dedicated people
As for the Seals i thought you might find this page handy

I GIVE up.

It’s tough for just one person of my age to take on so many people like this and to be quite frank, it’s not worth it.

I quit. I’m defeated. Woohoo – you win.

The problem in your thinking is that you’re trying to win. Why on Earth are you ramming your opinions down the throats of others? Frankly, I eat meat, I enjoy it and I couldn’t give a rat’s backside what you think about that. I can appreciate and respect your viewpoint, but don’t shove it so aggressively in my face (I know you’re not shoving it directly and personally ‘in my face’, but to all intents and purposes that’s how it reads). You have to learn to accept the opinions of others on such things, Robbie. You really do. Your self righteous and mildly patronising comments are getting rather tiresome now.

P.S. I’ve just read the rest of the thread and noticed Lance said pretty much the same. Ahh well!

What is a faith without tolerance? What possible value does it have? what message does it seek to deliver?

As to seal culling and the methodology employed? If I thought about I might have an opinion. As it is I can find far more important things (and people) to worry about.

From the faith I have, it’s not regarded as things like this. My faith is in that one day there will be a cure for cancer, we will give food to the kids of Africa, debt will be dropped from countries, genocide will end, clean water will be given etc etc.

Heslop.

Why would you want to ‘take people on’? If I’ve read correctly on some previous postings you have a faith. Does that faith not encourage tolerance of others?

Oh, how very melodramatic.

What gives you the idea that you can ‘win’ or ‘lose’ a discussion anyway?

People can and will hold different opinions from you, mate, and they can and will express them whether you like it or not.

That’s life – deal with it.

It’s not a question of ” winning ” and you’ve made your points very well,but in a forum like this I’d guess vegetarians would be in a very small majority.In the middle of A levels isn’t the best time to get involved in stressful arguments of any kind . Better to put it out of your mind and enjoy a nice sunny weekend,and I know that sounds terribly patronising but it’s not meant that way honest !!!Good luck with the rest of your exams.

That’s it!

If we’re not supposed to eat meat, then why do we have canine teeth?

Form follows function.

.Can anyone explain the advantages of veganism then ( no animal products at all,eggs honey etc.) ? I know a vegan family and they look so unhealthy,kind of pale like plants grown with not enough light.Is anyone on here a comitted vegan ?

Veganism is when a person, as you said, decided to live without the use of any animal products, by-products in food or animals in clothing, cosmetics etc.

Vegans have to very careful to their health in the UK, due to the little numbers of vegan foods that are available here, whereas in the USA, supermarkets sell a large number of vegan products. tofurkey etc

If the people you know do look ill, it could be a lot of factors ie, they don’t drink enough water, their levels of calcium will obviously be down. So the best thing to do is to drink more soy milk – as this will dramatically boost calcium levels and to eat more of what are called “pulses” to increase levels of zinc, potassium etc.

I myself am not a vegan, i’m vegetarian, but I have in the past considered adpoting a vegan diet, depsite it’s causes.

Families of vegan lifestyle have to check regularly their health with doctors and have to make sure they have a sustained number of health levels i.e. Kcal, Mg etc.

Another piece of advice to give would for them to eat, like I have been advised – 8+ pieces of fruits and vegetables per day as this can take away serious health risks such as fatigué and in some circumstances – mental health problems – which are however very very rare.

Also, vegans are said to be more extreme on their views to animal rights than vegetarians and as some meat-eaters can be to people like myself (vegetarians) some vegans can be very hostile to vegetarians.

Even that thinking is worthy of a little examination.

Case 1 – The pheasant: Reared selectively to produce fit, high flying birds for the guns. Protected and cossetted as it lives its life free in the woods and countryside. After eight or nine months of life there’s a three month period when they are driven over the guns and either killed instantly, wounded and swiftly despatched or escape free to live another twelve months in a near natural environment. An animal bred for sport, but then becomes part of the food chain in game pies, pates and delicious casseroles.

Case 2 – The Tesco chicken: Hatched indoors, never sees daylight for 12(?) weeks, lives in cramped and unpleasant conditions, is finally flung none too gently into a crate, taken to somewhere in a noisy truck, hung by its legs, electric shocked and then bled to death.

Which has the better life? The answer is pretty obvious, but it is only the money paid by the sportsmen that funds that luxury lifestyle.

Moggy

Aye, good point. Sport for food is a sort of 3rd element. Acceptable IMO for the reasons you state.

As for Tesco Chicken…having one tonight. American style. DEEP FRIED. Don’t knock it LoL. Get a rather large culdren, get the oil to the temperature of the Sun, lower chicken in…slowly. 10 minutes or less for a 2.5 pounder.

Koalas may absolutely stink but it’s that mingled aroma of eucalyptus and pee that says Australia to me …. last time I had a koala attached to my ample bosom for photographic purposes the damn thing stuck its claws in me so hard I’d happily have clubbed it over the head.Can anyone explain the advantages of veganism then ( no animal products at all,eggs honey etc.) ?

We should use that position with respect…..animals killed for sport, not really a good thing

I doubt that anyone could help you, Chuck….:)

BEEF IS MURDER

Tasty Tasty Murder………

Sorry, could not help myself.

What ever happened to that food chain they taught at school? :dev2:

Darn right! And we are at the top of it. Live with it people. We, by accident or fortune are the dominant species on the planet.
We should use that position with respect…..animals killed for sport, not really a good thing (1). Animals killed for food, normal behavior and is how we survive. Two eyes facing forward, we are hunters. We need meat. (Veggies use artificial substitutes for meat, or they get ill)

Our foodstuff is a commodity, be it a plant or an animal.

(1) Crocs of Australia need sorting out according to the news tonight. Culling them for a couple of years is now needed. So long as it’s controlled I see no reason why a Croc hunt for Sport should not be used. A few belts, shoes and handbags can be made at high prices too.
As for Koalas, they may look nice but they absolutely STINK!

…..I just think having something have to die to make food for your plate is just inhumane

But it is human.

We are carnivores, we are designed to be carnivores and little will ever change that.

It’s right that we show respect for those species lower down the natural food chain and seek the least painful way of despatching them, and unless I am much mistaken the Canadians don’t actually club them to death. The clubs have a sharp spike which drives into the brain, I’d guess death is pretty instantaneous, more than can be said for halal meat and other quasi religious perversions that we give room to in Britain.

I’m happy for anybody else to be a vegetarian and I’ll happily cook them a vegetarian option if they come to my home to eat. I can’t offhand ever recall a vegetarian cooking me a tasty steak though.

So, as a meat eater I cannot get all ‘holier than thou’ about canucks and seals.

My big worry if we did all go vegetarian (apart from how boring mealtimes would be) is that I’d hate to see the fields and hillsides completely devoid of farm animals.
