Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Definately not. I find it appalling that vegetarians would even contemplate taking part in the programme and visit the killing floor of the abatoir. What kind of message does that give of vegetarians? that vegetarianism is just a fad, that we are all fickle vegies/vegans? The Valley Vegan.............

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Possibly, but mostly to get my wife who still eats meat to accept that I'm not being over-sensitive or stupid about how her steak gets on her plate. From what I gathered about the programme in the papers the other day one of the butchers is suppose to be showing them how their methods are kinder to the animal than the large abattoir's. Glad to know that my license fee is being spent on good wholesome family entertainment! Slightly of topic, I saw part of a kid's show the other day (story of Tracey... something or other), where " mum " made lentil burgers and gets a 5 minute grilling about how disgusting it they are, how they're not proper burgers and how they are missing out by not eating the real thing (followed by images of other kids gorging themselves on burgers). Is that the kind of programming that is on now, eat meat or you're some kind of freak?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Peter, I definitely won't be watching it either - I couldn't!! I wonder where they get those vegetarians from that are willing to partcipate in that sort of thing? They can't be real veggies! When I first saw this programme advertised I thought it would be a good idea for meat-eaters to watch to make them see the killing process and to make the connection between the killing of an innocent animal and whats on their dinner plates and maybe some would go veggie? But I'm not so sure now as to what the programme makers incentives are?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Maybe if those kids saw how their burgers are made and the animals being killed they would think differently. There appears to be a lot of anti-veg stuff on t.v recenetly,- We live in a very twisted world, Jo _________ Tiscali Broadband only £9.99 a month for your first 3 months! http://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/broadband/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I understand one of the vegetarians on the programme is a Blue Peter presenter whose been veggie most of her life. I also understand that she cried for nearly a half hour after seeing one of the cows killed.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I am to, suspicious of the reasons for this programme. Whilst I shall not be watching it, I do wonder if the meat industry had a hand in this. As I said to a friend, is it to make people aware of the horrors, or to desensitise them even further, a media trick of the meat industry perhaps?
