Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

Healthy vegan food

 

You are right Balkan. See below. I'm somewhere between the 2.
But, like Den, I too would try that as a bit of 'junk' veggie food.
At least no fellow animal needlessly slaughtered.
Before I knew better, I used to love a kebab, with full mashings, on my way home from the pub a few decades ago. I can remember when they first appeared round here. First one I ever had was on holiday in Bournemouth, before they appeared up this way.

 

Are you an animal?

 

The bottom line is, there's more profit in a nicely packaged plant based pie, kebab, sausage, turkey and the likes than a piece of fruit or veg.

 

This may come as a bit of a shock to you, but all humans are animals.

 

Bizarre how so many think otherwise!
Bit like how many talk of 'nature' as being something somehow different / external to us. We human animals are part and parcel of nature.

 

There are some amoebae on here.

 

Now **** you Mr H, I'm straight

 

That's not what Two Wrights told me.

yummy

To be honest I don't eat much 'fake' meat, but it's ok every now and again

By the way that's a ****ty sounding ingredients list so not sure what company that is. Some much better stuff than that, with no palm oil, out there

 

For balance pork sausages aren’t that natural either
Tesco’s
And this is without anything the pig was pumped full of during the ‘growing fat for slaughter’ stage
Pork (72%), Water, Wheat Flour [WheatFlour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin], Salt, Parsley, Dextrose, Raising Agent (Ammonium Bicarbonate), Emulsifiers (Disodium Diphosphate, Tetrasodium Diphosphate), Yeast Extract, Preservative (Sodium Metabisulphite), White Pepper, Black Pepper, Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid), Nutmeg Extract, Mace Extract.

 

Support your local butcher not a supermarket chain

 

The local butchers to my brother always gets a chuckle from me when I drive past. Cue the snowflakes.....

Huh?
I was only saying that recipe was Tesco sausages
I don’t shop at Tesco’s, I just googled the ingredients list you posted and that was what came up first (Lynda McCartney sausages but on their website)
I agree though
If you eat meat get it from your local butcher if you can, and whether you do or not then try and get your veg from your local greengrocer when you can.

…better to not eat meat at all though

 

But is it a struggle getting enough iron?

 

No there's plenty of iron in vegetables, nuts and seeds etc.

The only thing I do take is vitamin B12 because that only exists in quantity in meat...but even though it is in meat it isn't easily taken into the body so even carnivores would do well to take B12 from what I've read.

Gamechangers on Netflix is an interesting watch on things like that (at least it was on there when I saw it)
