General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Is this the vegan utopia we’ve been dreading? You don’t win friends with salad

I'm a flexitarian myself and I wish more people would just do that, just realise that they're eating too much meat for their health anyway and cut it down to 2 or 3 times a week.

The problem is that I literally do not known what to eat.

I live in a 3rd would country, so my grocery selection is a bit limited compared to what it was when I lived in the states.

I can easily get meat and core vegetables, but I don’t think I can just eat broccoli all week. Especially since a stick of broccoli is not expensive or the same price as meat.

Beans! Including chick peas.

I don't live in a third world country but I live in the former DDR and vegan food is rare as hen's teeth. I'm even having trouble finding beans. Best place to go is Vietnamese shops, they're way more into veg.

I love chick peas! Sadly, for health reasons my wife can’t have them 😂😂
