Nigela Lawson went vegan for 2 weeks and now claims it's not sustainable for her.

I'm thinking of cutting down on my meat consumption from 5 days a week to 1-2 days a week and more seafood and veg, thoughts?

It’s a piece of piss.

Anyone who says they “can’t do without meat” is talking tripe.

I ate meat at least 6/7 times a weak, whether that be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Then a change of conscience & for my own thoughts etc I’ve stopped completely.

I feel like a new person, it’s incredible.

DO IT!!

I somehow gone off of red meat naturally. Simply don't want it anymore. I'm still enjoying poultry, fish and seafood. Don't think I could go vegan. Not yet anyway.

The energy thing is if you go wholefood vegan you will need to eat significantly more volume of food. If you go the junk food way you have so many choices and really amazing substitutions ie the new McDonald's plant burger people are saying its better than a quarter pounder

Full vegan or just a plant based diet OP ?

I went plant based for nearly 2 years . Main thing i missed was cheese . Vegan cheese sucks. Apart from that the meat replacements aren't bad these days. In stil plant based most of the week but do enjoy proper meat now and again.

I feel way better and have more energy.

Everyone is different though, and people's bodies react differently. I gradually have up dairy after having been vegetarian for years before.

Cutting down on meat consumption is a good idea! We try and have a couple of vegetarian meals a week. I tried veganism when I was seeing my old girlfriend but what with my severe nut allergies it wasn't sustainable for long for me. Introducing more veg/fish to your diet isn't a bad idea.

Vegans can swallow semen because—for purposes of ingestion—semen is considered vegan-friendly. While sperm are alive in a crude biological sense, they are not conscious or sentient.... google says yes

If you go plant based or vegan or vegetarian, why eat meat replacements?

I thought being Vegan was a whole lot more than just cutting meat out, somebody has mentioned eggs and milk also Honey is out with some vegans and then you would need to look at your clothes, no leather for a start

I am not Vegan but i respect those that are it is a life choice, but do not think cutting meat out means you are vegan

I did try it and it wasn’t sustainable for my body either. I already lack in B12 and that’s something vegan and vegetarian will suffer and it’s recommended to take extra B12

When I did try it, my body went into shut down and I started getting mouth ulcers and felt generally Ill. So I knew it wasn’t for me. And that’s okay.

I don’t eat a ton lot of meat ANYWAY. And it’s very minimal and in small quantities (usually I’d eat it like 2-3 times a week and I don’t remember when I last had red meat … but I’d definitely order a steak out if I want to ) x

Eggs and milk are animal products, so all "vegans" don't eat them.

There's a difference between vegan diet, and vegan. You can never completely cut out animal products. You can reduce your usage.

I couldn't give up my roast beef, my bacon sandwiches, my chicken kormas, my pork chowmeins, my salami pizzas, and so on, so it's a no from me.

When we go without its' usually replaced with cheese so I am a bit lazy in the kitchen when it's not meat I am using.

I do love shop bought vegetarian food too, lentils, nuts, beans and all the other ones, (apart from tofu, can't stand it) but I understand thats' very different to giving meat up altogether.

I guess it works for some who can adjust, I am glad for those who do, I just can't stand the militant ones who bleet on that meat is murder and we should all stop eating it right now. Everybody is entitled to make their own choices on it.

Done it. All comes down to mindset, some people just don't want to stop doing what they enjoy, even if they know it's bad for them/the environment. I don't judge, each to their own.

I stopped a long while ago and have never looked back. It's led to an improvement in my physical wellbeing and general mental health, as well as being a lot more inventive in the kitchen.

I try to avoid all the cheese substitutes and fake sausages/bacon etc... as they're mostly full of absolute garbage/chemicals.

Meat is a luxury and it's not good for us to have it every single day.

Once I did some reading and saw the way animals get treated in industrial farming, there was never any question that I'd stop and I don't miss it at all.

We have been vegan for years and years. It’s no big deal now to be a vegan. Years ago you would have all the usual nonsense thrown at you but now people have grown up and now that it is mainstream you no longer get uninformed comments.

Also bear in mind you can have a very bad vegan diet if you eat all the processed junk. Going vegan isn’t a given for a healthy eating, you have to be aware of what you are eating the same as any diet.

But can tell you this, you will feel better for it.

I was a vegan for many years. I could give up meat, dairy and other animal derived products but I love leather. I tend not to buy new leather, most of mine is vintage and was purchased second hand. If I see something well made at a fet market I might make an exception.

Old leather is so beautiful. I have loads of tooled leather bags, cowboy boots and bullwhips that I wouldn't want to part with.

I've been vegan for 5-6 years.. Was veggie for 30 years before that. I think with Nigella, it's more a publicity thing - she still has books /TV programmes to push

My only regret is not doing it sooner (I listened to the nay-sayers, telling me I'd die from lack of nutrients.. My mum still misguidedly tells me this, so i think it is a generation thing )

My health is better and i am stronger, and I have better energy than when I was veggie.

I'd say it's very easy if it's something you genuinely want to do. You can be as healthy or as unhealthy as you like, pretty much as with any other diet!

If you want to chat about it, DM me, happy to help /answer queries

When I was vegan it was because of the animals not for dietary reasons. I used to sell vintage clothing but would not stock fur, leather, wool or silk. I'm kind of an "all in" person. I meet so many vegans that wear and buy leather. If it's a health thing then cool but leather is a industry on its own not a byproduct.

I eat very little meat compared to most and I ask myself if I had to kill, prepare and cook this animal could I do it? The answer is yes, cows being the hardest yet I eat less beef and tend to stick to fish and Fowl.

A bit of a ramble but I hope it makes some sense

Next week, I’ll be vegan two years. No going back for me! Never felt better, health noticeably improved in all areas, so more than happy with the choice.

I thought I’d miss dairy but found alternatives. Cheese is the most difficult but a few good ones exist. Eggs? Not had any since turning vegan.

For me the exploitation of animals, the intense animal cruelty, the environmental impact and personal health were the reasons to make the change.

Yes, I have leather goods purchased before I went vegan. I’ll keep using them until they need to be replaced, at which point their replacements will be vegan.

Being vegan is very missunderstood, as are the supposed health benefits of the non-vegan diet, and free range farming.

Currently Faraway

The problem is in some parts of the world vegan food is much more a stupid politically correct, bandwagon jumping, fad adopting by-product rather than a years-long, conscious, concerted effort to provide a section of the public with a healthier alternative.

When we lived in England, Quorn and Linda McCartney’s products were far superior to what we have here. I remember a few months ago when I had tried a pack of vegan sausages and the edible outer cover they had resembled plastic gift wrapping. That’s a bit of a mockery to the consumer I think. I badly miss my Quorn Swedish balls and pulled pork

I don't really know the full 100% vegan stipulations etc but l have stopped eating red meat regularly since Jan 2020 and now l cook fish and veg 6 days a week , But l drink full milk ..eat Jaffa's..maybe a Mars bar etc during the week , but if l was visiting someone's house and they stuck on a bit of dinner and there was red meat in it of course l'd eat it but in general l stopped eating red meat ,check out " Game Changer " on Netflix..it's a brilliant documentary movie on a person trying to find the ultimate diet for sport's people and everyday people..see what you think of it but just to say since l stopped eating the red meat l have found more energy .

I have no interest in reducing my meat intake, let alone becoming Vegan. I personally don't think that a vegan diet itself can provide everything that I need.

On the other hand, I would whole heartedly support a return to locally sourced food and only being able to buy what is "in season". 99% of the environmental impacts that veganism would help with are caused by large industrial farming practices and globally shipped food. These would be reduced massively by returning to traditional farming methods.

I'm a proud omnivore. I do eat more fresh fruit/ veg than any of my vegan colleagues. I'm not a fan of restrictive diets. I try and source my meat from local sources.

Probably the opposite. They would be free and breeding. Populations would go up. Because if everyone was vegan they wouldn't be allowed to cull them. Though sheep might die if they all get sick due to not being sheared..

There wouldn't be any. They only exist because they are bred as farm animals, and most are unable to survive in the wild, even if there was room for them.

Apart from the breeds of sheep that can shed their own fleeces each year

I'm not sure they'd just be left to wander free. Any change like this wouldn't happen over night, no government would bring in a law banning all animal farming with immediate effect and without such a law it wouldn't happen at all. So let's say it is banned - with farmers given a few years notice so that the industry doesn't collapse. Animals would be sold and killed as now just in steadily decreasing numbers as farm after farm switches to growing avocado or whatever. There would be a massive upheaval and job loss in many parts of the country, upland Britain simply isn't suitable for farming anything other than sheep. Short term this would lead to significant social deprivation in many areas (think of the mine closures that whole communities still suffer from). Longer term, much of the uplands would once again become forested, we would almost certainly need to look at the reintroduction of apex predators to manage land that humans no longer have any use for.

There are plenty of farms now that are run a visitor attractions with rare breeds being kept. These aren't rare breed in the sense of species going extinct, just taste breeds of domesticated animals - none of which bare more than a passing resemblance to the wild animals they are descended from.

Some people are more suited to a vegan diet than others, and some people's lifestyles are more suited to vegan diets than others.

I was vegetarian for 29 years before becoming vegan. After 3 years I started having diet related health problems.

Breeding would be an issue, almost every creature in farming is female. There is a real shortage of genetic diversity due to the small number of males used. It would certainly require moving animals around to prevent "inbreeding"... moving the animals about also wouldn't be "vegan".

It would depend on my motivation. Just 'because', no. I enjoy the taste and the smell of meat. Just looking at the picture of a greasy dirty burger with meltes cheese on it make me salivate.

If it was imperative for my health then yes.... Or at least I'd give it a go. I feel I eat less meat now I am on a lifestyle change but that's because of calories. I don't actually consume much dairy any more.

I'm sorry to say that the animals don't actually factor in to my rationalising this debate. Of course I don't want animals to be mistreated or killed in humanely but they taste nice so for me to enjoy them they must be killed. Maybe a tad crass for some to take but that's how I feel.

Veganism is a lifestyle. It's not a small commitment. It's a repudiation of large aspects of modern living.

Cutting meat out of your diet isn't enough. It's more than that.

I can become a vegetarian. I love meat but I know I could easily live without it. But to deny myself butter, cream, ice cream, leather, wool ... milk ... eggs ... that's a step too far for me.

I think the future is vegetarianism but Veganism is the extremist political movement that will make vegetarianism seem like a reasonable option

I think the issue with these types of threads is that they invariably become a series of anecdotes. There will be vegans saying that they're more healthy than they've ever been and others saying they tried and got ill, this last group then get told they didn't have the "right" vegan diet

Can you live a vegan diet? Yes absolutely. You have to have B12 supplements - anyone telling you this is found in certain foods is taking bollocks, it is in those foods as a supplement (yeast is the classic example of this, it doesn't naturally produce b12). However, to make a vegan diet work requires a great deal of attention to ensuring you get the correct amount of various nutrients which in turn means a careful selection of food. Any diet where you pay this level of careful attention to what you eat and select meals specifically to ensure the correct balance of nutrients will make you feel better than the standard processed crap we mostly eat now. This effect is then hailed as being all about going vegan rather than making life changing alterations to how you view food. It isn't, you feel better because you're eating a balanced diet - and one that doesn't contain the known poisons that are used to preserve processed meat.

Are there arguments for going vegan from an animal welfare point of view? Absolutely. Are there arguments from an environmental point of view? Absolutely. Are there arguments from a health point of view? No. There are studies that give a correlation with lower risk of certain illnesses but these are not controlled for by comparing vegan with an equally carefully controlled non vegan diet - there simply aren't enough non vegans who take the same level of care to ensure their diet provides everything. This type of study requires long term information from thousands of test subjects and such data with all variables controlled for simply doesn't exist. Also, these studies are only ever for specific diseases, not life expectancy as a whole - I have been reading lately about efforts to correlate this but the data is inconclusive and full of potential problems.

The B12 from plants is new mis information spread to promote veganism.

Even when I was vegan I was aware I had to make sure I had suppliments for it or eat food that had it added.

For the new vegans out there who have been mis informed, the vegan society has a page on this, simply Google vegan society b12 to get it

"Sources of vitamin B12:

Vitamin B12 is made by micro-organisms, and isn't produced by plants. Fortified foods and supplements are the only proven reliable sources for vegans"

No.

I can promise you that grass fed pasture raised livestock production is absolutely essential for the well being of the planet and human survival. Anybody disagreeing with that doesn't know enough about agriculture and soils. Period.

By eating meat you are helping to retain viability of food production in the vast majority of the UKs agricultural land which cannot grow anything but grass. Livestock husbandry standards in the UK exceed anywhere else in the world by some margin and my business for one is inspected to the teeth every year fully quality assured and traceable right through the chain to what field the barley comes from that gets fed to the sheep. Be under no allusion that cheap food from abroad (including btw most fruit and veg in our supermarkets) is very definitely subjected to lower controls, higher chemical exposure and hundreds of food miles .. economies of scale that create factory farming are driven by the buyers / the supermarkets under the Monika of 'consumer demand'. Be very careful what media pedalled stuff you read about food and farming. 90pc of it is completely wrong and that is no joke.

Plant based very definitely costs the planet way more than british meat and the labelling I'm afraid is very suspect. A huge amount of the vegan argument is now funded and pushed through highly effective and profitable social media channels by multi national corporations sniffing out a current trend.

All that said if you can't handle the idea of an animal being shattered to provide food clothing materials etc etc thousands of other by products then that is your choice and always should be. People must always have the choice, but the true facts must be digested to arrive at the correct choice for you.

There is nothing more important than the food that makes you.

I went Vegan for year with a previous partner yes you feel great and the health benefits are amazing ..but truth behold I missed eggs and some meat also I found it really difficult to consume enough food so I didn't feel starving

"I can promise you that grass fed pasture raised livestock production is absolutely essential for the well being of the planet and human survival. Anybody disagreeing with that doesn't know enough about agriculture and soils. Period."

Interesting. Please qualify your argument. How can the death of an animal be essential for the planet?

Nope.. I won't survive for long if I did. Fair play to those that are of course.

Can you not see the irony of what you've just said ?? . Do you not understand basic biological cycles ? What do you think happens to human bodies when they are buried ? It's all part of the cycle. Millions of animals die every minute all over the planet and all contribute to the natural cycle of things, whether they are eaten by humans, other animals or maggots. Grim but natural.

"Nigela Lawson went vegan for 2 weeks and now claims it's not sustainable for her.

I'm thinking of cutting down on my meat consumption from 5 days a week to 1-2 days a week and more seafood and veg, thoughts? "

Don’t blame her !

That girl looks like she loves her meat !

If what you inferred is what I thought, yes, but it isn’t. I was asking why animal livestock production is essential for the planet and, for the record, the eventual waste isn’t nicely buried in graves. We are talking about animals as a PRODUCT.

So, for clarity, Why is the creation and eventual destruction of an animal essential to the planet?

I (mr) have been vegan for nearly 10 years so it's definitely possible.

"How so? I don't think vegan options are as enriched with protein as meat. Although there are good vegan options for healthy fats and carbs.

There are three documentary films I always recommend:

1. Game changers

2. Forks over knives

3. Cowspiracy

Watch, learn, and do your own research."

I second this

Christ no. I love the taste of meat too much.

As for nigella, while i dont know what she was eating during her short stint going vegan, ppl cant just suddenly switch their diets so dramatically and expect it to work or not have some profund and adverse affects on their body. She most likely made the switch overnight and wasnt eating any of the right foods.

Ppl really need to learn more about nutrition in general before they start making these sorts of decisions. Its not a lifestyle choice, its a way of life.

Watch a documentary on Netflix called Game Changers. It may convince you to go vegan

Absolutely not. It wouldn't bring me any joy needing to supplement food.

Yeah, I did for just over a year. However, my downfall was dominoes pizza... mind you, they do have a vegan version now so maybe I'll give it another go.
