This is a virus not a bacteria

Good clarification.

Same mechanism.

"A majority of viruses emerge from zoonotic animal reservoirs, often by adapting and infecting intermediate hosts, such as domestic animals and livestock. Viruses that are known foodborne threats include hepatitis E virus, tick-borne encephalitis virus, enteroviruses, adenovirus, and astroviruses, among others.

I can report that Capitalism has finally caught up with Veganism.
Sat down for a lunch on Sat at a place inside the Art Gallery.
Looked on the menu and saw a $57 cauliflower. Yes, that's right, a fifty seven dollar cauliflower.

Whole roasted cauliflower, harissa, zucchini, pomegranate (vg, gf) — 57

I need confirmation that "vg" is vegan coz I thought it was "v" for vegan and "vg" for vegetarian.

Must be a hellova cauliflower though.

Still this seems to have nothing to do with antibiotics fed to farmed animals

Snakes could be the original source of the new coronavirus outbreak in China

A new coronavirus related to SARS and MERS has now traveled from China to the United States. A genetic analysis reveals that this deadly pathogen may have originated in snakes.

theconversation.com

Surprisingly, they found that the protein codes in the 2019-nCoV are most similar to those used in snakes.


Snakes often hunt for bats in wild. Reports indicate that snakes were sold in the local seafood market in Wuhan, raising the possibility that the 2019-nCoV might have jumped from the host species – bats – to snakes and then to humans at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak. However, how the virus could adapt to both the cold-blooded and warm-blooded hosts remains a mystery.

Why is it KFC, Maccas, HJ, and every carnavore restaurant in the world offers vegan fare as an option, but vegan restaurants dont offer a carnavore option for the non vegans?
Doesn't seem fair.

Doesn't seem fair.

Because a vegan restaurant is a niche thing that caters to vegans. The vast majority of restaurants are not vegan, so most restaurants by default already cater to non-vegans.

Boycott them all! It’s the only solution.

I have. I've boycotted KFC, Maccas, HJ, Dominos etc until they stop selling fake vegan food.

Except he’s not a vegan.

 

[Ry009]

Except he’s not a vegan.

I didnt know his background, so did a quick search on the Google-ator, and lot of articles seem to indicate he is?

Happy to be proven wrong, but I can see is that he doesn't want to be labelled a Vegan, and has a plant based diet based on gluten allergies.

That being said, skimming this thread seems to indicate recent discussion is around veganism as a way of life as opposed to a diet.

Except he most definitely is.

He used to not like to be called vegan because he started out just eating plant based for the performance. Now he is fully into the lifestyle and even owns his own vegan restaurant.

Are you this wrong about all the things you post about?

It's great news for vegans that they're now able to eat chicken and fish. Here's hoping they can someday enjoy eggs, dairy and red meat as well.

Do vegans eat rice? They are supporting the shooting of ducks to provide them with their rice.

A vegan who eats white meat and fish.... cool.

Maybe it will start a new trend. Maybe call it a "plant based diet" wonder if it will catch on?

"In simple terms, it looks to keep both gluten and dairy products out of his diet, and cutting out sugar wherever possible. He eats mainly vegetables, beans, white meat, fish, fruit, nuts, seeds, chickpeas, lentils and healthy oils, and also cuts out inappropriate sources of protein and carbohydrates."

Day three is my kind of dinner, a whole lemmon roasted vegan chicken.

Where in the article does it say he's 100% vegan? It doesn't. It's a vegan web site so naturally they distort the facts.
This from 12 months ago. White meat and fish.

Very difficult from that article (unless he’s been misquoted) to interpret this as other than he has now gone full vegan.

Not sure why this threatens people so much.

 

[mcnulty]

And that GQ menu looks lik it’s been lifted from the other, older one. Which is pretty sloppy.

 

[yodellinhank]

Probably also worth keeping in mind Djokavic doesn't eat bread because he thinks he got weaker when he held bread to his tummy.

He hasn't been quoted as saying he is a vegan.

It clearly threatens you, as you're always one of the first to jump in and support the vegans.
