Veganism has become more popular with the younger generation.

possibly mean dwindling market. Less long term prospects.

[oowee]

It is a fact that veganism is increasing apparently up 40% in the last year and supported by the increasing amount of aisle space allocated at my local Sainsbury's. Increasing veganism will reduce the demand for meat which will help prices a little as producers struggle with spiralling post Brexit commodity price rises. In this case as reported it could signal a change much needed or otherwise will depend upon your personal view.

Fortunately as consumers we have the benefit of the forthcoming low cost meat deal with Australia.

The more Vegans and Vegetarians there are, the more PW members will have to do, to protect their fruit, vegetables, peas, beans, lentils and arable crops.........as authorised in GL 42 of course.

Indeed, Rapeseed oil was being promoted on the tv last night and i was thinking about all you brave old pigeon shooters out in all weathers doing your bit to protect crops.......shame but when eating meat is illegal you will have to leave any shot birds for the growing numbers of predators

Followed an artic load of chickens heading for Frank Birds this morning. 
Quite sad really, a few weeks of living in a shed, loaded into crates, driven two miles ( on this occasion ) and before I’d listened to pop master they’d be dead. 😕

Nail on the head right there. 

This is what our shooting organisations should be promoting, wild shot and even reared game is far more humane than mass meat production and is far better for animal welfare. 

[ditchman]

all this veganism.....i will be pushing out more gas than the bloody Russian Tundra permafrost melting.....and we will all be walking about with carbon capture machines down our trousers.....like them special filters they have designed for cows bottoms to capture the gas emmissions

 

wole world is going crazy............

This just reminded me, its not the same thing but its to do with the way we see food.

After the Brexit vote there were loads of articles about food being more expensive etc etc tomatoes going up in price, all doom and gloom as normal.

All I could think is that maybe some things should go up in price as it might make people look at food a bit differently instead of wasting loads food all the time. Or if say prices of tomatoes from Europe was too high it may spark the viability for more UK based growers to invest in bigger setups to help demand.

Even though I enjoy the convenience of having whatever ingredient whenever, there needs to be more food education on seasonality.

Some of the meat rearing conditions can be less than desirable.

I understand that price increases could be devastating for some lower income families, but I was just thinking to myself about current food culture.

I think if they made meat illegal we would be dead by then.

Possibly this, it would be foolish of the industry to ignore changes in consumers views, the sooner they can adjust the sooner they'll be better off. There will always be a meat market but failing to plan is planning to fail.

[Guest cookoff013]

Can i interest anyone in some mung beans?

Doesnt have the same ring does it?

[TIGHTCHOKE]

What about 21 day matured mung beans?

No that doesn't work either.

What about a vegetarian bacon sandwich?

[12gauge82]

I don't see any of that article as a negative. Wages will go up for low paid workers, it should cause British farmers to focus more on rearing and producing high quality meat instead of mass farming and could lead to more locally sourced and game meats being eaten.

Vegan bacon sandwich is pink oyster mushrooms and they apparently taste like bacon.
