Julia Hartley-Brewer’s furious clash with vegan campaigner

Cambridge University students have voted to push for a completely vegan menu across its catering services.
Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with Nathan McGovern, who organised the vote for vegan food.
He says: “A food system that relies on animals makes no sense whatsoever.”
Julia responds: “What are you talking about? We are omnivores!”

This University student doesn't understand that the poorest people on the planet, need animals to survive, up in the mountains, goat herding or in a desert, or Greenland. That is a MASSIVE amount of people he is totally in denial about.

[@MrTheoptimiser]

He's not advocating to those people. Moreover, generally the poorest countries eat the most plants because they are CHEAP. An inuit, or Bedouin who genuinely need animals to survive, fair enough mate. For westerners, abstaining from animal products is attainable by nearly everyone, and is magnitudes better for animals and the environment. No brainer.

[@aliencactus720]

@@MrTheoptimiser "plants" are not cheap everywhere and anyway, third world type places grow their own or forage. However, it is common people might keep a cow, or sheep or goats or chickens. They can also bee exchanged and so on in barter. In fact the word 'fee' comes from Old English and meant 'livestock' originally as live stock was used as part of payments. Livestock were important in winter for survival. Unfortunately, it has been a fact of life for eons and that is what the hardcore vegans are in denial about and even want to attack people about it. Great humanity. Fact is, there are good benefits from being vegan for a period but so what ? Let people do it in their own time ( if they want ). Forcing ideas on people just has a repellent effect. I think protein is not just from meat but we are deeply ingrained for many reasons, including instinctual.

[@MrTheoptimiser]

@AlienCactus True, plant food is not cheap everywhere but in the majority of the third world it is less expensive than animal products. The Bedouin type subject cases are relative outliers in that regard. Again, no one is suggesting those with genuine necessity to source calories from animal products change their behavior. Nothing in human biology suggests we need animal products to maintain health. You can look to The Adventist Health Study or The China Study, both of which suggest positive outcomes from a plant based diet, especially as it pertains to longevity and avoidance of heart disease. I'm happy to grant animal use may have been imperative to human survival in the past, but what about this justifies using animals in modern life, particularly in the first world? That flesh eating is instinctual is nonsense. It is a learned behavior that most of us are conditioned to from birth. Do you think you could hunt prey with nothing but your teeth and bare hands? It is also the case that raw meat is repulsive. Humans have only managed to make meat palatable via cooking, and indeed adding plants such as spices. Fortunately it is impossible to compel anyone to do anything, but what is wrong with suggesting (with words) that one's actions may have negative consequences. I'm not holding you in specific rebuke. Society as a whole has got this one wrong. There are victim's involved, human and animal that one must consider when making choices. Even if you end up disagreeing, thank you for taking the time to have the discussion. Cheers.

@@logitech2010100 did it have 2 seats :). 2% of Americans id as Vegan, 5% as vegetarian. So if you are excluding up to 98% of your customers, you will have problems getting bums on seats. Considering a normal cafeteria , you can still get veg/vegan food, so it excludes no one. Most people eat meat, they like meat, they will continue to eat meat, if they can't get meat in the Uni, they will go down the road and give the local pub/restaurant/shop business.

[@davidrenton]

@@FreakHarryPotter because you are excluding the vast majority of patrons, who are neither vegetarian or vegan. You also have a limited patron capture as you are fundamentally just available to staff and students at the university. so while a vegan restaurant might be able to survive elsewhere, that's because it's market is far larger, it can be accessed by anyone, i.e. people will travel for it , with these there is a restriction on the who can access it. It's not like school where people are forced to eat at the school canteen, so people will choose who are denied meat within the establishments canteens they can just walk 2 minutes down the road and get meat at a restaurant, fast food , pub.

Starve the lizards! In 1970 the same stamp of people were protesting against military conscription during the Vietnam war, a far more valid cause. However, those of us with a pragmatic approach to life were too busy getting on with our lives learning, studying and accepting whatever came our way.

[@jujutrini8412]

I don’t think you can compare people protesting the Vietnam war and conscription with vegan protesters. They had a just cause - if more people took that stance the government might have stopped involving themselves in more and more unnecessary wars that killed young people at a rate of knots. If everyone “accepted whatever came” their way we would still have kids working in chimneys and mines, appalling and deadly work conditions etc.

If God didn't mean us to eat animals why did he make them out of meat?

[@davidtomlinson6138]

And give humans meat eating teeth , as we are omnivores

[@ponnamy]

@@davidtomlinson6138 Yes we should eat dogs, cats, and rats in addition to the usual meat.

[@ponnamy]

Yes, you're absolutely right. We should eat dogs, cats, and rats too.

[@funjuror]

One of the reasons these people have brains large enough to be at university is the eating of meat. Also, we are naturally omnivorous, having the ability to switch our diets when needs be, so we have come through many an ice age while other species became extinct. If the human race was vegan for long enough to change our physiology, and we had a complete change in the climate, we would no longer be able to adapt and extinction here we come.

[@elirien4264]

When humans started eating meat, their brains started to grow, after that, humans tamed fire, started making tools, etc etc...

[@annetunstall967]

The reason we should not rely on a vegetable based diet is the amount of land required to feed the billions of people who will need to be fed animals can be put on land that can't be used for plant based production. Plants unlike those animals are more susceptible to climate and weather conditions. Children need certain foods in order to be healthy. I don't agree with factory farming, pork and chicken being a good example as I prefer my pork from farms that keep their pigs in fields, away from farrowing crates and where they have access to mud baths and digging, and with chickens free-ranging they produce better eggs. I can see an argument for a vegetarian diet but even here bulking agents and added chemicals are a real problem in the food industry. Not everyone is capable of following such diets either there are a large number of conditions which would be problematic on such diets. For me some vegetarian (without certain seeds, grains and pulses) is OK for others it could be a definite no.

Keto diet has been proven to be very healthy, vegan not so much.

[@RaceLever]

You need to learn how to properly research... For one, keto diet has known documented adverse effects... For two , the average Vegan does statistically better than the average animal eater... For three, even if you were correct about keto (you aren't even close) it still wouldn't be a reason to harm and devour animals... You animal eaters don't own ketosis, lol... A Vegan can do keto too if they desire to... Although I'm not sure why anyone healthy would want to, especially long-term... ;-)

You'd think someone from one of our top universities could provide some actual data to support their argument, wouldn't you? As per usual only anecdotal evidence, which, as someone from a top university should know is worthless. All their posturing and they can never provide any information that might actually convince people that their arguments are valid and worth listening to.

[@MsSamanthaTKO]

Yeah you’d think that another university educate would be qualified to vouch for vegans but it’s really unnecessary as all vegans have sense not to eat dead flesh full of antibiotics steroids and adrenaline. Now what do you say.
