I do have two words for you though.....
Bacon Sarnie
I'm with you on the vegetarianism (mostly). at Christmas Mr Duck got norovirus and it's completely put him off meat. So we've become semi-vegetarians eating it about once a week.
We've got two amazing veggy cookbooks I really recommend - VEG by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and PLENTY by Yotam Ottolenghi.
Interested to hear your new challenge
Going veggie is up to you but you seem to have made the descion on a few videos you have seen on you tube of some disturbed individuals and judged the whole industry by it. Humans have evolved as omnivours so meet will always be a part of our diet we are preditors not prey hense why you eyes both point forwards, not to the sides as animals that are eaten by others. Intresting thought if everybody suddenly became veggie tomorrow farmers would slaughter all their meat animals as they would become a cost that had no reward for them.
Each to their own but being someone who plans all there meals around what meat i have to put in it, i doubt i could ever be a veggie
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I tip my hat Ivan, but there is no way I could/would want to give up meat.
So I feel like I have to flat but then it's like mehh I look pretty strong by flatting the 5b, and don't really know what else I can do postflop, the flop checkback is standard imo, but don't wanna just check down all the way cos I don't think you're ever gonna stab after checking 2 streets.
Meh dunno, maybe I got as much out of it as I possibly could.

with regard to vegatarianism, i am a meat eating former vegetarian. well pescatarian. my concern was little to do with an ethical problem with eating meat and more of a concern for the economics of eating meat. meat is a very innefficiant way of getting 'stuff' into our bodies. VAST tonnes of grain support MANY animals which in turn support a few humans. there are countries where people are going hungry and much of the available farm land is turned over to fatten cattle to sell to fat westeners. the sort of chicanary up with which the young me would not put. i do lurrrrvwe meat though and i have mellowed and my activism is reduced to buying british produce. we live sheltered from the horrors of meat production. willfully so in all probibility. so kudos on taking a moral stance that actually requires effort and change from within.
with regard to vegetanarianism as i said i do admire your concern for animals. what you say about speciesism is almost certainly true and i would recomend to all richard dawkins moving essays on the subject, especially in regard to how we treat our primate cousins. but vegetanarianism also produces much suffering for animals. egg production is famed for it's brutal treatment of animals. also milk production requires that cows are over-fed, restrained and kept pregnant. if we all went veggie tomorrow there would be many cows shackled, inseminated and over-fed to produce milk. the male half of their off-spring would be useless to this new veggie world. as an aside any veggie wearing leather needs to have a word with themselves. if slaughtering animals for food is meh, then doing so so your feet look sexy is puke, innit.
but i do admire your passion and concern. that it is translated into action is a credit mate.
The weekend just gone I went down to the Hay on Wye literature festival with Alicia and camped for the first time in a long time (previous to that it was with cubs/scouts when I was probably only 10 or 11) - I wasn't really up for going too much because it was very last minute and I hate last minute stuff but then got to thinking it might be nice - sitting out in the sun having a picnic whilst reading! Weeeellll... that might have been somewhat optimistic haha. The rain stopped any of them ideas. We travelled by train and arrived to rain. What's worse is we didn't bring any wellies with us so by the time we traipsed across the field to the camp site our feet/trainers were drenched! We then spent a good 15/20 minutes hopelessly pretending we knew what we were doing as we tried to put up our new tent from argos, only to get someone to help us in the end!!
On the Saturday it started raining at maybe 5/6 in the morning. We'd bought wellies the previous day but I only had a jacket and no umbrella or raincoat - so we basically stayed in the tent all morning praying that the rain would slow/stop so that we could go outside and find an umbrella - ended up giving up waiting and left the tent at 2 - it didn't stop raining till 6 that evening. Went for lunch that day in a cafe and had the best meal I've had in I can't remember. Was a cashew nut roast - mushrooms, parsnips and cashews in a mushroom sauce with potatoes and veg. Veg and potatoes were cooked to perfection and the roast was amazing! Would never have even considered trying something like that a year ago.
