Why did you decide to be vegan (Mod Warning)

Deleted User wrote: »

There’s no moderation on this forum.

You can pretty much say what you like it seems.

So it seems, lets post antagonising videos and blood boiling posts to vegans and then do childish grinning faces and think we are great. Would a MOD just step in and delete this thread. Quote from evans last post "discussion with vegans and vegetarians about what influenced their decision to be a veg.....". Very interesting how you done the end of your post.

I reported 1 earlier as well, I just don't understand why it's allowed. I would never go on a forum and do what was done on this one, it shows a serious lack of respect for peoples choices and way of life. Would you get away with similar on the religious forums? I doubt it.

+1 on that.

The forum has gone to **** to be fair.

Stopped regularly posting in it a while back.

So tell me why someone comes on a thread asking why someone became vegan posts about killing animals? From what I've read it happens a lot.

I think people have a right to be p!ssed off. I don't think it bothers vegans why they became vegans, I think what bothers them are people continuously goading them on a f*cking vegan forum. Classic examples all over this thread.

You're not at all curious, you want to argue and tell people they're wrong. That's what's really childish, because no matter what vegans say, it's never acceptable.

I am curious.
Curious why your hell bent on destroying people s livelihoods.
How would you like it it if I wanted to destroy your livelihood?
Believe it or not it's one of the reasons and it is relevant to the thread.
Ye can censure all you like
If asking tough questions is goading then I'm sorry you feel that way.

Do you really think sticking it to the farmers is one of the primary reasons people avoid meat or dairy?

Unfortunately things change and if farmers are struggling then they have to look at other options. What do the rest of us do when we lose our jobs?

Boohoo.

Everyone's jobs has a threat. Mine is cryptocurrency possibly taking over currency. Maybe I should go into the cryptocurrency thread and start trolling or would that be a dickish thing to do?

Ever listen or read any of Peter Schiff's publications?

Shouldn't you be busy in current affairs talking about Trump with your 400 other accounts?

To be honest I don't think that's representative of most of the back and forth on these threads. The OP who started this thread was accused of being"Just another farmer who can't deal with the fact that people don't want to eat their products". just five posts into the thread.

And up to that there was no anti-anything comments. And unfortunately that seem to set the scene for the rest of the thread.

Now I don't know the OP other than they're new and what they've posted and that they've said their sixteen. Maybe so. But to be fair the majority of comments in the forum are generally in reply to existing threads. With most comments being genuine discussion imo.

However like all threads you get the jokers and the pokers. Individual pokers hlare often the bigger problem. And btw in that Im not excuding anyone. But yes there are a very small number of vehemently anti-farming posters. One who regularly goes on hate filled rants directed at specically Irish farmers but oddly from his own comments doesn't even live here and another who seems to hate all farmers without exception.

Of course farming is changing. And many many of those involved in farming have more than one jobs these days due to the nature of the economy and the realities of family life. Anyway eitherway imo the thead is little more than a complete train wreck at this stage....

I agree with you.
Farmers will have to suck it up unfortunately myself included.
It does frighten me.
this vegan is gaining serious momentum.
I will be out of a job.
Growing veg is not an option because the returns are so poor ...and regulations on the use of pesticides and fertilizer s get banned or more stringent every year.
I won't even go into how supermarket s treat they're suppliers.
How many billion is beyond meat worth now ??
It will put me out of a job because veganism will go down the manufactured road as in the case of beyond meat or mosa meats(lab grown)
It frighten s me that farming is slowly and surely being put down by a 1000 cuts.

I don't appreciate u saying boohoo.
I diddnt put anyone down in this thread and I'm not going to start.

That reply was meant for unearthly

But don't you have ever growing markets in China etc where demand keeps rising? Meat and dairy is very much part of culture in Ireland and Europe, I can't see how a few vegans will affect farmer's business.

Well I don't think its anything particularly or specifically to do with 'vegans' tbf. Its the idea that fake / synthesised and highly processed products are somehow better. When its evident they're not. The last thing the world needs is even more highly processed foods which all come with a corporate logo and trademark.

And its not just wholefoods such as dairy or meat or whatever the exact same presures are being placed on vegetable and arable growers to produce food as cheaply as possible yet are amongst some of the most heavily regulated sectors in this part of the world.

Most of the foreign mega corporations involved in highly processed products are pushing it with vague taglines thats it ' healthier' 'better for the environment' and yes they tend to target certain diet groups.. A quick look at the ingredient lists of a lot of this type of crap and a basic understanding of logistics quickly shows otherwise.

And yes of course its fine if people want to eat other types of food where that's in accordance with the personal opinions or tastes. However these tyoe of highly processed and synthetic products are not doing any favours for anyone except for the mega corporations pushing them.

For most additives in processed food there is little evidence that they are responsible for ill effects. Probably more correct to say the high salt and sugar in food is bad for you. If you put loads of salt on your meat it's just as bad for you as a ready meal. Bacon and other cured meats are probably worse than a ready meal.

I’ve reported several posts and nada.

I think Tar does be quite busy with life.

Would be good to have a regular poster as a mod on the forum.

Unless of course someone is willing to go back over a month of posts and issue some bans.

All threads are purposely taken off topic EVERY time by the same posters.

A mod that’s hard on gaslighting would be my preferred choice.

I would like you to be a mod Klopp. On the ball with the antics in here
