Who thinks we should 'shop' a certain 'regular' here to Morgan Spurlock? He could spend 30 days as a vegan.

Question

That way he'd have a chance to live it and he will have been educated by vegan dieticians and also shown how to cook delicious vegan meals by Morgan's fiancee, the lovely Alex !!!
What is your opinion?

To 'shop' (note the inverted comma's =(British slang) to report to, tell/inform on/to, make aware of. Morgan Spurlock made the Uber famous film 'Supersize me' (where have you been? ) where he ate nothing but McDonalds everyday for a month and if they asked if he'd like to supersize the meal he woul do just that. in 30 days he became very lethargic, lost his libido, was unable to concentrate, got constant headaches he suffered from elevated bloodpressureand nearly ended up diabetic. Doctors were begging him to terminate the experiment early because they were so worried about his health. His poor fiance Alex was desperatly worried about him (she is very healthy and a vegan chef) He put on 3 stone in weight and the last stone was hell to shift. He then made a programme for British TV (Channel 4) called 30 days. People agreed to spend 30 days with a person whose culture or lifestyle they abhorred and didn't understand !!
If you don't know what the question means please don't answer!!

Apparently some people like 'bland' foods they are called 'supertasters'. I kind of agree KMennie 'cos I like spicy foods but asked about our friend who claims to be surrounded by vegans!! You get a thumbs up for understanding the question!

Answer 1

Indeed, it looks like he's back from his latest heart by-pass operation.

I'm half inclined to encourage him to continue with his meaty nonsense as he'll be back in l'opital shortly, just as soon as they can find that ambulance with the stronger suspension.

If he turned vegan, his libido might, err, rise. Would we really want that.

I've now got this vision of little overweight foxhunters shuffling about in an abattoir chomping on the entrails of some poor cow somewhere. No doubt daddy foxy woud be shouting encouragement "don't get pale and weak kids, DANGER, keep away from the veggies.. I'll be back in a minute, just gotta go and have another heart attack."

There is so much evidence that a vegan diet is great for you, i doubt any more information will open his narrow mind.

Answer 2

I think that would be an excellent idea.

I love my food hot and spicy but can appreciate food cooked without salt and food which some people believe to be bland. I love vegan and vegitarian food (but don't really like eggs very much unless given to me by my friend's chicken!).Sometimes people just don't appreciate vegetarian food - but I promise you it tastes cleaner and fresher than meat everyday. 30 days of living veggie or vegan, and no-one would want to go back to their
meat based foods or animal hunting pastimes again.

Answer 3

That's a great idea! With any luck they'd be able to answer all his moronic 'questions' and deal with all his spurious friends & family's vegan-diet-related health problems.

Answer 4

The stuff she served up at the end of the film was amazingly bland. I don't think that would persuade anybody.

I mean, can you get more boring than

?

It may be healthy, but -- yecch. I'd be very surprised if his stomach hadn't rebelled; a gradual transition would've been better.

Answer 5

Just one??? Hows about a couple of hundred thousand of all the meatie trolls that show up here!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Sorry to tell you this although you seem like a little cute Brit' chick I love my juicy rare steak with mashed potatoes to sop up the blood.
