Treat meat eaters like smokers, says shadow cabinet vegan
 
Quote:

Meat should be treated like tobacco with a public campaign to stop people eating it, Jeremy Corbyn's new vegan shadow farming minister has suggested.
Kerry McCarthy, MP for Bristol East, has irked the British farming industry with her veganism and vice presidency of the anti-hunting League Against Cruel Sports.

Corbyn and his rabble barely have a brain cell between them. Totally mad. :nutter:

Who knows, maybe next they will talk about banning halal and kosher meats with the methods of killing used. Then again maybe not.

I've asked her about whether she'd support a ban on unstunned slaughter. Awaiting a response.

Oh, please. If our ancestors hadn't hunted for meat and fur as the last glaciation retreated, that prat wouldn't be here to raise the issue!

We are omnivores. There is no legislation or wishful thinking that can change that fact. A healthy diet should include meat - we are not rabbits!

On the other hand, fox hunting should still remain illegal. Hunting an animal when you're not going to eat it is wrong. It isn't"sport" to hunt something that can't fight or shoot back. The same applies to big game hunting. If you're going to hunt, do it because you're in a situation where you have no other choice, e.g. if you're stranded somewhere and you've nothing else to eat. Then it becomes a matter of simple survival and is therefore justified; the hunter is then essentially a predator doing what's necessary to live. Nothing wrong with that at all; no-one complains when a cheetah takes down one of those cute little antelopes.

But hunting for "sport" is vile.

Awaits the idiot who suggests banning chocolate as being unhealthy..Anyway until the vast majority of the UK turns vegan there is no chance of that ever happening.

Chocolate isn't unhealthy. but they'll probably just ban fat people from buying it so they don't get any fatter.

Diets lacking an essential B vitamin do that.
