RE
Animals are NOT FOOD

Wow, 300 million #cows killed every year in the world. The number of #chickens killed are wild

I was bike riding one summer in 1973 in #Vermont and found some old (maybe 1950s?) negatives showing only cows.
I guess they were money to the farmer, his LIVElyhood

I see that he wanted to photograph both sides. Maybe if the cow was spooked
and ran away. The photo was proof of ownership, I guess

My bestie: Hey, what are you looking at?

Me: The vegetarian section

Bestie: *looks at vegetarian section, looks rest of buffet, looks at me, looks back at vegetarian section* is that it?

Me: well, there's a pot of soup over there, but otherwise, yes, this is it

Bestie: Sooooo... why are you staring at it?

Me: There were crispy pancakes here earlier, but now they're gone. I've seen a lot of carnivores get food from here, so maybe they have eaten them.

Bestie: Ah. So you're standing guard?

Me: Not really, just waiting, hoping that they'll refill the crispy pancakes

Random guy with a plate full of bbq'ed shrimp and oysters: *walks to vegetarian buffet and takes a couple of spring rolls*

Bestie: Hey, are you vegetarian?

Shrimp guy: Eh. No.

Bestie: Well, this is the vegetarian section. Maybe better if you take from the rest of this gigantic buffet?

Shrimp guy: Ah, yes, good suggestion, thanks! *continues to help himself to vegetarian food*

Bestie & Me: 👁️👄👁️

An app I would gladly pay for: I hold my phone camera over a plate or food (at a party or other event) and it tells me whether there's meat in it. Having to keep asking random people "Do you think there's meat in this?" is not fun. #vegetarianism

My nephew just informed me that I’m lucky that I’m vegetarian, because eating meat is so much work! It takes him no fewer than 29 chews to chew his way through a piece of pork 😱

If plant-based foods must be more honest, let’s do the same for meat – fancy some ‘cow muscle’? | Deirdra Barr https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/11/plant-based-foods-honest-meat-cow-muscle-eu-rules-ban-veggie #Vegetarianism #VegetarianFoodAndDrink #FoodDrinkIndustry #Food #LifeAndStyle #EuropeanUnion #UkNews

If plant-based foods must be more honest, let’s do the same for meat – fancy some ‘cow muscle’?

EU rules banning terms such as ‘bacon’ for veggie products are problematic, btw cow muscle = steak, says the Vegetarian Society’s Deirdra Barr

India's veg diplomacy: Why PM's all-vegetarian banquets challenge global dining norms

India is redefining official banquets by serving only vegetarian cuisine, challenging global dining norms. Critics label it an imposition, but the article argues that Western culinary standards arent universal. Palates are shaped by genetics and environment, making taste highly subjective.

The #DailyTelegraph is off its meds yet again.

#Venison is NOT #vegan, unless your dictionary is hallucinating. Veganism is not just abstention from eating meat (thats #vegetarianism); it's about abstaining from all exploitation of animals.

The #Torygraph used to be a newspaper.
