Going vegan isn't guaranteed to stop you being a fat bastirt. Before making this life changing decision it's worth noting that most beers, worth drinking, are not vegan. Not sure if that makes a difference to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lager isn't beer, by the way. Depends on how strict a vegan you are, though. Some vegans are happy that their food doesn't contain any animals, others don't want animal products used in their manufacture. If you stick to Brewdog you should be OK, but most of the stuff you get from taps in regular pubs will have used animal products. A lot of brewers are changing and investing in technology which doesn't need to use these animal products, but I would guess that most beer still uses animal products. Do you ask at the bar for vegan friendly beer or do you just stick to brands that you have already checked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then She found out that it contains fish bladder in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for posting that. I notice that as of Jan 2018, all Guinness produced at St James Gate will be vegan friendly. Maybe they are changing quicker than I thought? That means that, in a very minor way, they have changed the recipe for Guinness. I'm surprised there hasn't been a big stooshie like that for changing Irn Bru. I mean, Guinness can't possibly taste the same with all the fish guts and crushed up animal bones taken out? Ormond might be able to tell us if notices any difference. Probably less nutritious now.

Eisegerwind Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Had a Bombay Aloo instead of the usual Chicken Madras takeaway last night. Very nice, vegetarian I guess but probs not vegan! Plan so far is dry roasted peanuts, salt and vinegar peanuts, fruit and Bombay Aloo (should that not be Mumbai Aloo) and boiled tatties.

Eisegerwind Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 An delightful extract from the BBC website about climate change. Different approaches Sir Ian says it's actually more carbon-efficient to raise sheep and cattle on intensive high-tech farms than on traditional extensive pastures. That's because although intensive farming with animals fed on grains and soya creates more CO2 emissions, it creates fewer methane emissions. Research proves, he says, that because intensively-raised animals grow and mature quicker, they are slaughtered younger - so they belch less methane in their shorter lives. As methane is a far more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2 in the medium term, that means intensively-farmed livestock are less bad for the climate. Image copyright Getty Images Sir Ian said: "All the evidence tells us that intensive farming done well is much more environmentally friendly than extensive farming. "Intensive farming is able to apply much more modern technology. And changes (to farming) will lead to significant reduction in the amount of land farmed directly for food." What's the farmers' viewpoint? The NFU takes exactly the opposite stance. She also forecast that British sheep and cows would be bred and reared to reach slaughter much more quickly in order to reduce methane burps. "The argument about methane is badly flawed. We can 'finish' an animal just as quickly (as intensive farming)… under 15 months using right genetics and using the right breed." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
