I SEE the veggies are revolting again!

Where did "veggie" Tony find the physical strength to type in "miss miss miss" so many times? Impressive. So let us cut through the usual diatribe of endless, non-saturated veggie waffle --with a vegetable knife, of course.

As for using the British Army as an example, by stating that it has a veggie-based ration pack. Well ok, it all sounds nice and nutritious, providing all the soldiering you're doing is lying in your doss-bag cuddling your SA 80 on Salisbury Plains, while three inches of English summer rain laps round your ankles.

But, to be honest, if I were stuck up a snow-covered mountain in Afghanistan, with the wind whistling round my Khyber, I would sooner have a meat-and-dumpling, or even a corn dog-based ration pack, than a bag full of rabbit food, no matter how hip, cool or trendy it was, especially with sub-zero temperatures, and the locals on the warpath.

The veggies, and veggie converts (especially the converts), always seem so insecure about their diet and chosen lifestyle.

I say this because, every time someone has the temerity to disagree with them, they go lashing out in all exhausting directions, and at everyone who just happens to disagree.

We omnivores are at the top of the food chain, like it or not, Tony, so leave us, the majority who are meat eaters, and who enjoy eating meat, to get on with it, and go advertise your veggie website in another media.

Leave us poor, misguided, meat-and-two-veg eaters to enjoy our food. Stop trying to convert the majority of us, the great British public who, surprise, surprise, Tony, don't want converting.
