[UK] Labour’s Vegan Farming Spokesman: Treat Meat Eaters Like Smokers, Meat Like Tobacco
Breitbart London ^ | 24 Sep 2015 | Sarkis Zeronian

Posted on 09/24/2015 11:20:31 AM PDT by Lonely Bull

Labour’s vegan farming spokesman believes meat should be treated like tobacco with a public health campaign to stop it being eaten.

Kerry McCarthy MP was recently named the Labour Party’s Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Jeremy Corbyn’s appointment of a vegan farming spokesman was always going to be controversial.

Not only is McCarthy’s 20 year-long vegan lifestyle choice in potential conflict with a large section of Britain’s agricultural economy, she is a Vice President of the League Against Cruel Sports which seeks to ban countryside pursuits favoured by many farming communities.

Sounds like a 1970s Monty Python skit come alive. It really does.

How,exactly,are smokers treated in the U.K.?

Stoning? Beheading?

I assume smoking is still legal there.

Vegetarian: derived from the Olde English term for a person who does not know how to hunt or fish.

England is like that. Python was more reality tv than Americans realized.

Laugh now, but the vegan crowd over here feels the same way. It’s just a matter of time, before this comes into our discourse. The crazies don’t go away.

My brother and I will fly into Reno, XMAS time, to visit our very healthy 82 year old dad, who promised us roast prime rib.

Sounds like Limbaugh's:

.....or "KOOKS".

Treat vegans like child molesters.

How come we don’t hear someone who said that or something as outrageous?

I have a theory.

I’d say treat vegans like fish bait... but they won’t stay on the hook.

I think I’m going to start adding a little bacon grease to the gas in the car.

Leave a little meat behind, everywhere I drive.

When I did the recommended search before posting this thread, I found this other thread from a few days ago:

Vegan group targets Bellevue butcher on Facebook (Freeplike this small business)

John Dick said when he updated the business' Facebook page a few weeks ago, the store was enjoying 5-star endorsements. This week, the business' rating plummeted.

"I'm like 'Wow, what did I do?'" said Dick. "I must have made someone really mad. It was just a bunch of one star ratings by seven or eight different people."

Kristina Foley, along with other friends and customers, defended the butcher online and realized most of the critics were from out of state. The reviewers seemed to be part of an organized attack with a purpose.

"When you looked at their pages, they're all vegans," said Foley. "And I'm like that's not fair. You need to let people know your personal agenda is your personal agenda."

Must be a Morrissey fan. Had a deep experience in high school listening to Meat is Murder, or something.

Like Red Forman said in a “That 70s Show” episode after his heart attack when served a plate of rice and vegetables, “This isn’t FOOD; this is what food EATS!”

Here’s a better idea: Treat Leftists with the contempt and derision they deserve, like the lunatics they are.
