Lol at eating just plants as being expensive. You do know where animals that are eaten get their food right?
replyWould you say the same if they refused to serve kosher/halal meals for Muslim/Jewish patients?
replyUK law protects some philosophical beliefs equally to religions. (what qualifies is a bit of a mess as it's all case law)
(On a practical note, I imagine it's easier for hospitals to just serve vegan food for anyone who is vegetarian/Muslim/Jewish rather than have specific kosher/halal meals)
Religion tends to be more constitutive to a person's self-identity than purity signalling dietary trends.
replyActual yes since I think all religions are illogical…
replyActually the subsidies mostly go to diary farming. Vegan food is cheap to produce but mostly not subsidised. This, plus the (no) economy of scale makes the shelf prices sometimes slightly higher, eg soy milk vs defatted milk.
replyVegetables, legumes, nuts, and grains are not expensive, and veganism is a protected class in the UK.
replyYeah but when you're mad at a nation not force-feeding meat to vegans you have to come up with some reason why the vegans are bad.
