My friend is from Witney. Looks like a lovely place.

^yup, when you consider Oreo's are a qualifying vegan food, it makes sense that obese vegans, while not the norm, can and do exist.

True - many years ago, my mother was told by her doctor that if she wanted to lose weight the best & most foolproof way was to eat exactly what she ate everyday, but just less of it.

There is no correlation between vegetarianism & health; lifestyle/moderation & health, certainly, but eating meat or otherwise makes no difference.

According to this article Tour cyclists consume about 6000 calories per day during competition.  Thats alot of cheeseburger.

It is terrible. What's wrong with eating horsemeat anyway? Why is it any more aceeptable or unnacceptable than eating cow, or lamb or deer??

It is of course a cultural thing, and I suspect the biggest problem here is that Tesco were selling what were supposadly beef bufburgers, without declaring the horsemeat contents in the ingredients.

Years from now we'll all be eating fake meat grown in labs anyway, from stem cells, and most people will be coaxed into thinking that is perfectly ok, through decades of pressure and brainwashing from 'ethical' politicians who will all still be gorging on venison and fois gras every day.

50 years ago they said we'd have hover-boots now and we're still waiting. Synthetic meat is easily made, it's called soya.

I'm negative to veganism, or any other "sectarian" ideology , either religious or not

Synthetic meat is easily made, it's called soya. The principles of growing meat meat from stem cells in a lab, is established. That is actual meat, not meat substitute like soya. Mass producing it is the challenge, as no doubt marketing it to people like me will be too.
