vested interests

Doug has been trying to bludgeon us all into using bicycles and especially
just recently he has been arguing (I use the word lightly) that disabled
cyclists should be allowed to ride on railway station platforms.

A a paragraph from an article in the Independent dated 26th December 2003
gives the clue as to why.

It was like manna from heaven for Doug Bollen, 71, who had spent years
scouring the country in vain for a restaurant who could supply him with a
vegan meal on Christmas Day.

"It is only really possible to get a vegan meal on Christmas Day at an
ethnic restaurant," he said. "Generally it has been difficult eating out."

Doug, who is retired, is a late convert to cycling. He was persuaded by his
doctor to take it up after he experienced hip problems which prevented him
from walking long distances.

"Cycling is all right," he said, "so - although I've got a bus pass - I
don't tend to use public transport now."

"scouring the country"? Sounds frivolously hypermobile to me.

SWMBO went with some friends to a vegan restaurant in London the other
night. It was OK, apparently, for an "experience", but certainly didn't
convince anybody to change diet.

The conversation covered a friend of one of her co-diners, a vegan and
mother to a new baby. She is _refusing_ to breast feed her child because
it's an animal product... FFS.

She should be arrested for cruelty to the child. Breast milk is the
best, cow's milk formula a barely acceptable substitute and soy "milk"
is offering the child slow starvation, a complete absence of
immunoglobulin and iinsufficient essential fatty acids for proper neural
development.

It's a mental as the idiots I met hwo tried to make their cat "vegan" by
only feeding it on beansprouts.

And this, my friends, is a fine demonstration of what the poor brat will
grow up to be like.
