    Where do we stand on relish? For me, my veggie burger is incomplete without cucumber relish.

    Not in my world mate. No meat for me. Bad for the planet, bad for my health and even worse for the poor sodding animal. Used to love a juicy burger, a bacon bap or a fine filet mignon. Do I miss 'em?? Nope. Not a bit. CHANGE!!

    Your choice. (Good balanced diet for everyone, never seen a veggie brown bear or chimpanzee)

    Just don't pinch meat dish names.

    Steak
    Burgers
    Sausages

    All banned. Find different names and enjoy your food.

    So are Cars /Motor Bikes/planes /Trains/Ships etc in fact virtually everything that the human race has a hand in so how do we change that? Or just maybe Nature has taken a hand in that by producing a virus that is going to correct the error of our ways by culling the most detrimental element to the future of the planet

    Tend to agree with you, and if anything 7 Billion humans is what harms the planet rather than a few extra cattle. I also think we do tend to try and fix many of our cockups. I remember the river Irwell as a kid was just toxic.
    No one would go near it.
    Now fish are back.
    We have a lot to get right and I don't come at it from the Climate Scaremongering, but I do believe we need to be responsible and keep or house in order.

    In terms of meat and it being bad for the plant, I don't agree. I think it's like many things, bad if over done and in many instances we overdo it. If you have too many humans, you probably have too many farm animals, crops and general demand on resources.

    If we ate 25% more fruit & veg and 25% less meat I think we'd have a balance that worked better, but we still have to tackle over population.
