Do we know the difference? Vegetarians are more power hungry than meat eaters. How do we know that
0:05
Well, this is a survey that's done by the University of Warsaw, basically
0:10
And vegetarians, I don't eat meat and I haven't done for a long time, have this sort of like tree huggy, we're all kind and lovely
0:16
Miriam's still sneaking about fingers. We have this reputation for being all nice and cuddly and tree huggy and we love animals
0:24
But this survey has proven that we are more power hungry and aggressive and dynamic
0:29
than people that eat meat. Evidently. So vegetarianism is a political statement, then
0:35
Yeah, absolutely, yeah. You know, as I said, vegetarians have a greater desire
0:41
to wield power more than their meat-eating counterparts. I mean, you like a sausage, don't you, Big Ince
0:45
I like a sausage, but I have gone off meat, per se, funnily enough, as I'm getting older
0:51
I think there are... You know, it takes a lot of eating a piece of meat
0:56
if you pound the expression. And the older you get, the more you find that it takes a lot of people
1:00
Yeah, exactly. I must admit, I have more of a conscience about eating meat as I get older
1:07
Yeah. And that's a fondness of animals brings that. And have you ever go on Instagram and you look at cows and horses and pigs
1:16
They're wonderful things. They're all affectionate and incredible. They're gorgeous. Yeah. And there we are putting it into our minds
1:22
What do you think about the move to enforce vegetarianism on people though because especially in schools and some universities there this trend for meat Monday where there this enforced absence of meat on children I think it ridiculous to let kids do what they want to be on children
1:35
Within reason, obviously, a healthy diet, da-da-da-da-da-da. But, no, I think, you know, I don't eat meat, the husband eats meat
1:41
It's not an issue. Eat what you want. But I think the fact that they're trying to force this into schools..
1:47
Let Kids Experiment give them a vegetarian option. Yes. Let them see what's going on
1:51
It's not just options. It has just become political. And also, there's a lot of misinformation out there
1:56
So I know children are often told that eating meat is terrible for the environment, but importing avocados thousands of miles is also terrible for the environment
2:04
But also, I mean, a lot of vegetarian meals, certainly processed vegetarian meals, have got a load of salt and fat and sugar in them
2:10
So they're actually worse for you than eating a lean piece of meat. I think the tide is turning now because the new trend amongst young people
2:15
particularly young men, is protein. Chicken, breasts, tuna. That's the new trend, to get as much protein in them as possible
2:23
Very difficult to do when you're vegetarian. Well, unfortunately, processed food in general
2:28
microwave meals and whatever, should just all be banned. Yeah, I agree. They're just poisonous food
2:32
They're absolutely ghastly. And we take them on the basis that, oh, this has got low calories, this should be good for me
2:38
whatever it is, and we are sold a lie that we think it's great for us
2:42
Instead, it's poisonous with salt and sugar. There was a brilliant survey recently about processed meals
2:46
and about which had the most salt in them. And the worst offender was Jamie Oliver's ready meal
2:51
Really? Yeah, the turkey Twizzler guy. I mean, but his ready meals were full of salt
2:55
It was a soapy, but a witch or something or other, about which had the most salt in them
