Are you bringing Mrs Robinson with you?
Well, I'm a vegan but I sure as heck wouldn't stand around holding a sign up about it. Not sure what that accomplishes. I get pretty tired of the mercenary vegan activists, to be honest. We had an incident here in Canada last year where a bunch of vegan activists vandalised a privately owned shop that sold only wild game meats. Which to me seemed odd, as that's exactly the way you'd want your meat procured if you care at all about animal welfare and climate change. Humanely kill and eat an animal that spent its life free in the wild, sure. That's the food chain. Not sure why vegans have such a quarrel with that. From an environmental point of view, keeping things local and non-industrialised is also the way to go. Go after factory farming though, absolutely. The way the vast majority of our meat is raised and slaughtered is profoundly inhumane and damaging to the planet. It needs to be changed. But standing around in the middle of rush hour holding up signs and looking self-righteous isn't gonna cut it, it's just going to piss people off. Lift your game vegans.
Now THESE folks I can get behind - they're actually DOING something:

Anti-poverty activists crashed a Toronto pop-up restaurant Friday night that promised luxurious dinners in heated glass domes near the site of a former homeless camp.
For a minimum of $550, guests at “Dinner With A View” enjoy a three-course meal prepared by former “Top Chef Canada” winner Rene Rodriguez, while seated in terrarium-like domes. The event is located in an area under the city’s Gardiner Expressway known as the “Bentway,” close to where city officials removed a large homeless encampment on March 13.
The Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) says it’s opposed to the heated, terrarium-like domes placed for diners near the area where homeless people were evicted after struggling to survive all winter. That’s why activists staged a free counter-event Friday called “Dinner With A View Of The Rich.”
“In our city, homeless people living under the Gardiner with no heat are evicted, meanwhile pop-up restaurants serving luxury dinners in heated domes under that same highway are granted permits. The brazenness in our opinion begs a challenge and we’re happy to oblige,” Yogi Acharya, event organizer and activist with OCAP, said in an interview with CTVNews.ca.
Also, members of OCAP provided free dinners for the homeless as part of their protest.

I view them with nothing but contempt
Yeah, I can understand how you would feel that way. I’d say that when it comes to effective advocacy vegans and animal welfare types in general rely too much on force and shock value, and to say it puts people off would be the understatement of the year. There’s always going to be a meat industry because we are an omnivorous species. The act of eating meat is not some terrible sin. We just need to improve the way we go about it, for everyone’s sake. Documenting cruelty is only one aspect, and in reality, animal cruelty has never been too high on the priority lists of those in power. But then, neither has climate change, until recently. The window is now opening for re-evaluating mass meat production from an environmental perspective, and it’s high time someone took the reins on that opportunity. Which means more lobbying politicians to include it in climate change policies, and less standing around in rush hour traffic wearing signs that offer no relevance to the problem.
Test tube meat is where we should be headed anyway. Covers both the cruelty and the environmental issues.
Test tube meat sounds like an abomination. I don’t care if vegans don’t want to consume animal products, that’s their choice. Just don’t try and make everyone else bend to their want.
I liken yesterday’s protest to a bunch of religious nut cases shutting the city down because the rest of us are living sinful lives.
They should just set up a cult somewhere in the bush and leave the rest of us alone.
See there’s their problem from yesterday; shut it down or fix it up? The antagonism has mixed up the message. Watching Dominion there are clearly areas for improvement but the ability to shut it down is impossible.
The industry should definitely be cleaned up. Don’t need to be a vegan to know that.
You watched it?
It’s not one industry. I watched Pigs and Chickens (eggs/meat) and there are practises there that you think..what? And here’s me, the biggest salesman for KFC on this board..
We had chooks at home as a kid in the 70’s that we slaughtered for Roasts. 40 odd years on the taste and smell of those chooks is not like what you buy today
The issue is (like most things) when everyone assumes that a small minority speaks for the entire group. Not all vegans are like that.Test tube meat sounds like an abomination.

I don't eat meat. I don't care what others eat. Just know that if I was forced to choose between cooking you or a pig to survive, you'd be over the fire in about 0.01 seconds.

Total for full body = 125,822 calories
If I have a light-moderate physical activity level (even in survival mode I'm still likely to meet the physical activity guidelines because I'm not a slob) I'd need to consume 3148 calories to cover my estimated energy requirement.
125,822/3148 = 39.96 days
A whole pig is ~112,094 calories
112,822/3148 = 35.84 days.
So casting aside emotion, I will survive ~4 days longer eating you over the pig.
Bon Appétit
