In 47 years of veganism I’ve never met a vegan that stopped being vegan and returned to eating meat.
Plant based dieters sometimes revert to a meat based diet, but not vegans.
A plant based dieter is not always a vegan but a vegan always eats a plant based diet.

‘‘The idea that 84% of vegans return to eating animals is misleading. It stems from flawed research that doesn’t distinguish between ethical vegans and plant-based dieters. Genuine vegans, committed to animal rights, rarely revert, as their lifestyle is rooted in ethical, not dietary, choices.’’
Do 84% of Vegans Actually Go Back to Eating Animals?

Celtic drawing Bayern Munich in the CL takes me back to the Peter Grant testimonial in Jan 97 (28 yrs ago now!).
I was a plooky youth of a mere 31 summers 😂 and got to see Klinsmann & Matthaus strutting their stuff.
Klinsmann was different class 😯

Just fed up of saying "Oh, you know...quiet"

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.
Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Dr. George Borgstrom....... calculates it takes 1,800 – 2,500 gallons of water per pound of US beef.
That is the same as a 7 minute shower every day of the year… in one family dinner.

I feel a bit sheepish publicising such offers fro such sources. But the price of £4 for my Emperor of Rome book is a real bargain. Here: tinyurl.com/y4s9yk27

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.
The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.
Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?
