    Which is why I said "some".

    I house shared years ago with a veggie like that. I also knew a couple of others who I purposely avoided.

    One offending ad shows a picture of a young cow, with the caption: ‘They eat grass so you don’t have to.’

    Bacon is usually the one they miss the most, also

    Yum.
    Pure ignorance there Chuck. GBK actually makes good veggie burgers, couple of vegetarians I know quite like the veg options there.

    Looks like GBK has apologised for this anyway.

    Veganuary, which encourages people to give up animal products for a month, has seen a huge surge in popularity this year.

    This month around 22,000 miserable gits are taking part – up by about 2,650 per cent from when it started three years ago.
