You won't change people's behaviour by calling them murderers, barbarians etc. Also, most vegans go off on one when they find out meat eaters eat vegan food.

The only sensible solution would be to farm and eat vegans. Everyone's a winner!

The weirdest thing I ever read - totally untrue, why would they, they'd love it ffs.

Oh but it ain't.

A world without meat eaters would allow herbivores to proliferate without other checks to their population (apart from old age and disease). There would be surges of vegetation then grazer growth, over eating and famine, plus the enormous population would increase methane levels; methane being a much more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Imagine also the effect on he atmosphere should herbivores eat and eat and eat, reducing plant populations and thereby photosynthesis and the earth's oxygen-producing capability. The inevitable collapse and mass death of herbivores would produce enormous amounts of methane as they decay, further heating the atmosphere. Consequently, more water would evaporate, drying rivers, lakes and lowering water tables, and not so easily reach dew point in the hotter air. Desertification would be global making it very difficult for plant populations to recover.

It is entirely natural and necessary that predation occurs to keep plant-eating pests in check. There us plenty if evidence that shows the switch to meat eating by our ancestors was a driving factor that allowed for development of a larger brain, so here too, even though we have alternative sources of protein, eating meat is entirely natural for humans. Having said that, if we are to be above the animals then we should not treat them as horrendously as a mass consumerist society does, in the name of profit.

As an omnivore who eats meat occasionally, I'm quietly doing my bit to save the planet, while you extremists guys go around preaching bubbles from your high horse. :D

Why do vegans try to replicate meat products? Surely, if you were against meat, you wouldn't want your food to look and taste like meat?

ahahahahaha did you really say that?? It is genuinely the daftest response that vegans tell me they always get. They love the taste of meat mate, they just don't like the thought of animals suffering for it. It is so simple I do not understand how people fail to get it. Im not vegan only a veggie, I LOOOOVVEE meat but don't eat it because it disagree with the methods used.

Which is probably true of 90 % of veggies.

* I don`t include Vegans in this, as they are like the Storm Troopers of veggies.

I have to confess, I'm bored in work so I'm winding you up.
 
I voted medium rare but don't like it too rare. With a joint of beef I like it well done, don't like any pink in beef. Couldn't face a fillet steak that is so rare that a good vet could have it up and running. (the old ones are best!)lol

King James 1st was apparently so impressed by a loin of beef he was served he gave it a knighthood, hence Sirloin.

Snopes.com fact checks and deals with the etymology of the word thus :

While it is certainly possible that one or more England monarchs has repeated this pun, the word “sirloin” first appeared in English as far back as the early sixteenth century and therefore (with the possible exception of Henry VIII) antedates the reigns of any of the kings commonly cited as having originated it by knighting a piece of beef (e.g., James I, Charles II).

The real death blow to the “sir loin” etymology, however, is the fact that the word sirloin was originally written as “surloyn” or “surloine” in English, reflecting its origins in the Middle French word surlonge (“sur la longe”), with sur meaning “over” and longe meaning “loin” — hence sirloin was a cut of beef taken from above the loin. Not until considerably later did the common English spelling of the word shift towards using an “i” in place of the “u,” thus giving license to generations of punsters.

Seriously. Go study geology and predator prey relationships for several years as I did and it's all blindingly obvious.

Sadly a lot of loud shouty environmentalists only study data from the last hundred or so years. Because they're not considered interesting by the media we never gets to hear from the geologists sitting on thousands of millions of years of data.
