Well that’s simply not true. I know plenty of vegan activists who are more civilised than there meat eating counterparts. At the end of the day, some people are just dicks. Doesn’t matter what they eat

I know of no meat eaters who turn up at super markets and piss people off!

Interesting assumptions made by some on here about Paul. He was a vegetarian for many years and when he went back to eating meat, is very careful about the sourcing. For the various incarnations of the Trolls Pantry, it has always been about ensuring quality, organic meat and seasonal ingredients including those used to make his own sauces.
As for his involvement in this argument, he has been targeted by this group before but he is close to the team who run HISBE and is sticking up for them.
Yes, he has his moments on social media but generally his heart is in the right place (the other Christmas he provided food for the homeless at his shack).
And to agree with [MENTION=20366]jackanada[/MENTION] his rum and chilli duck confit was one of the best bits of fast food I ate last year.

Fair play to them for their values I suppose but they'd probably do a more fruitful job of converting people to veganism if they came up with a decent alternative to cheese. Sheese, Chose, Vedam and the like taste like yellow dog shit.
Fairs fair, his food is great.
I would love to try veganism though. The problem I have is the food is revolting and they're all *****.

Why do they feel the need to be an activist? Why can't they just be a vegan?

Protesting restaurants is not a clever move. People work hard, they are entitled to spend their money on whatever food they like. A lot of people don't have much spare cash these days, bothering them on their hard earned night out is not gonna win any converts. And nobody appreciates their choices being criticised. It's like criticising someone's holiday destination or choice of house. As a way of changing minds it is virtually useless.

this in spades. the aggressive activism tells us its about control and ideology, we must do as they say.

Vegan activism goes far beyond a small minority that cause grief for people who eat at restaurants or work at burger bars. The vast majority of vegan activism is about raising awareness of the way that animals are treated and exploited as well the environmental issues surrounding a meat based diet, and how a vegan diet is scientifically proven to help the environment. Of course, that sort of activism doesn’t make the news...
And I wholeheartedly respect that. Having attended Veg Fest last year I can attest to their calm approach to their passions.
However, I eat red meat roughly 4 times a year. I do this in restaurants that serve top quality, well reared beef and I pay top whack for it. If some hedge monkey stuck their unwashed face in mine and told me I was a murderer while I'm savouring the flavour of a perfectly cooked argentinian steak that cost me £65 they'd get a fork in their tit.
Thank you so much.

You haven’t really responded to anything I said though have you. If you think that vegan activism starts and ends with ‘hedge monkeys’ it shows how little you know about veganism and the ideology behind it.
