I was hinting at the morality as the key concept of vegan ideology more or less though. Those who don't eat meat because of health issues or because they don't like the taste/texture are unlikely to turn to lab grown meat, fair enough. What about those whose main (and only) reason of abstaining from meat is the issue of animal abuse and killing?

Crap

Max Kruse has his own racing team now!

He was development driver for Renault last season, wasn't he? Anyway, I think it's very sad to see what Williams has become. That reminds me I still need to watch that new documentary about them, supposed to be good.

So Williams couldn't say no to Russian money. However, I remember reading a while ago that Sirotkin's times weren't worse than Kubica's ones in testing, and some sources even claim he was actually quicker. Not sure if it's just a load of blah blah in order not to look like greedy bastards though.

Hope you didn't touch the eels Sounds interesting though, any pics?

Yes, both birds and crocodilians are archosaurs with a common ancestor, it's mad how nature and evolution works. Talking about prehistoric crocodilians, I remember reading about a giant 10 meter one that even hunted fucking dinosaurs

I wonder how long it will be until we get affordable, mass-produced lab-grown meat readily available in supermarkets. It actually raises an interesting question - what would be vegan/vegetarian stance on it?

Poor wild dogs Alligators are incredible survivors too:

We're technically not herbivores either, considering we can't digest cellulose ... Within biology, humans are regarded as omnivores, and rightly so - we've been scavengers from the early days as we have the capability to digest both plant and animal matter. Today it's perfectly possible to live healthy on a completely vegan diet in a developed country if one makes sure to get all nutrients from alternative sources (especially B12 since we can't acquire it from non-animal sources), but we're not biological plant-only (or meat-only) eaters. As for factory farming, it's horrible because of the drive to maximise output by minimising the costs, thus resulting in horrible living conditions and administering drugs to stimulate aberrant growth. It's nasty af, both in regards to animals and the health of the consumer.

I prefer grilled prawns or scallops, but yes, I approve

No, it certainly wouldn't be a big loss though I'd love a cheeseburger now though

Numerous studies have found that plants can actually hear themselves being eaten alive and try to defend by releasing certain chemicals Nature is brutal.

You don't??? That takes Australia off my list for sure

To be fair, nobody would have anything against vegans if it hadn't turned into a hip trendy lifestyle-thing to boast about for many of those who got into it It's not exclusive to vegans, it's just the old good "holier than thou" attitude that is annoying af.

I usually only go to the beach for a quick swim myself, although sometimes it can be quite nice to have a cold beer or a cocktail in a deckchair afterwards. Never been a fan of spending hours just lying down on the beach anyway. Now beach bars are a completely different story

hence skin cancer

If there are proper shaded areas on the beach then why not, it's definitely better than being stuck in the middle of a city... Spent around a week in Phnom Penh in +43 heat two years ago, never again.

Guiness is IRISH

Now now, I'd never ever refuse a free sandwich

It's a challenge to find a decent bakery here in the first place

I'll bring proper bread with me...

Wtf is tiger loaf?

So do I, as there's so much humidity here it just goes moldy otherwise. That said, refrigerated bread becomes stale very quickly, so this is not ideal either...

I used to have mini-cabanossis as a snack pretty often, but never even knew it's Polish until I read your post I need a break from work. Going to the beach
