Post covid indoctrination.

 I'm back.

After a couple of weird years for the world, where so many of our freedoms and rights have been taken away by our fascist governments, I look forward (not enthusiastically) to a time when not only are we told what to put in our bodies, or where we're allowed to go, or what we wear when we do venture outside our homes, but what we must eat. Oh... hang on, they are now doing just that with all this "Eat zee bugs" WEF bollocks. I'm thinner, slightly more broken physically, but still hanging in there with my diet and vegan lifestyle.

The supermarket shelves have changed immensely. Pop into any of the big 4/5 stores and you'll see rows of new funky vegan delights. Unfortunately many of these also proudly proclaim to be Gluten free.

Why is this?

Why have the vegan food producing companies jumped on the Gluten free bandwagon? Gluten intolerance and Celiac disease are fortunately quite rare conditions. Celiac disease is very rare, and those who do suffer from this horrible condition have my deepest sympathy. However 99.99% of people who run about claiming to suffer from this or from Gluten intolerance simply do not. They are waving yet another flag of self importance and suffer from nothing more severe than a case of "Look at me" syndrome. I think it's called virtue signalling in the modern world.

My problem with this is that the companies are promoting Gluten free Vegan food, yet Gluten is a wonderfully healthy plant protein that has been a staple of my own diet for decades. I'm thinking back to the first time I bought a can of Mock Duck from the local Chinese Supermarket. Simply gorgeous stuff. Now most vegan foods proudly claim they are Gluten free, which means Vegans are now no longer gaining the benefits of this once easily obtainable highly nutritious food.

So the "Do what we command or else" mentality of government is pushing more "reports" about how people should eat less meat (I thought this could only be a good thing) yet are taking away the very foods that enable a meat free diet to be healthy in the first place.

I for one will not ever eat zee bugs, or the maggots or the meal worms. They are living creatures too.

To vegan or not to vegan. A vegetarian dilemma.

Image
I'm not a vegan. However if Veganism was a religion, I would be a believer. Not just a believer but a preacher. I preach animal rights, the sanctity of ALL life, a meat free and cruelty free lifestyle, the Shame of factory farming and my disdain at those who consciously and knowingly choose to eat the dead flesh of other beings. My partner calls me a zealot. She says I am passionate, but can get so aggressive that i'm like a crazed religious nutcase. But how can we not be? How can we stand quietly when we see the truth, when we see the torture, the cruelty, the murder, when we see the reality of what the human species does to our fellow beings? It would be wonderful to be able to say I was vegan and for that statement to be true. I doubt there are many true vegans in the world. It is a badge many of us life long vegetarians have serious concerns about. For example, there are a multitude of definitions of what a vegan is on the interweb, however to me there can b

Cats and dogs.

Image
I have cats as companions. Some people call them pets. I like the term and have no problem with it. We share our home and our lives. However some people don't think of cats and dogs in the same way as I and most of the British population do. There are places where our closest furry friends are eaten. Is is not simply the eating that is offensive, it is the treatment of the animals prior to being consumed. In the slightly more "civilised" world where people do still eat animals there are often laws and some controls on the level of cruelty pain and torture inflicted on them. In countries where they also eat cats and dogs there is not. These same countries are also often the ones that have the worst human rights records, where they treat fellow homosapiens no different to the way they treat animals.  This is someones pet dog. It has been stolen, tied and bagged ready to be slaughtered for food by mentally ill people who think they have the right to do thi

How much does a pint of milk cost?

Image
A good question. In the shops a pint of milk will cost you 45 pence. But what is the real cost? Cows are mammals just like female humans, they only lactate when they have a baby to feed.    A milk producing cow will spend it's life being mechanically raped, so she gets pregnant and gives birth to a calf that is immediately taken away, just so she will lactate and produce milk for us to consume. This will happen repeatedly throughout the animals life until her milk production reduces to a level where it is not deemed financially worthwhile to keep her. The cow will then be killed. What about her babies? After she is raped with a machine and impregnated,  she will start to lactate. At the point of delivery, the calf is taken from her and either (if it's a boy) put in a box to produce veal, or if it's a girl either killed or put in a cage and fed until she is old enough to join her mother in being mechanically raped throughout her life and having her babi
