Move is part of a long-awaited Labour strategy including outlawing hen cages and ending puppy farming

Boiling lobsters while they are alive and conscious will be banned as part of a government strategy to improve animal welfare in England.

Government ministers say that “live boiling is not an acceptable killing method” for crustaceans and alternative guidance will be published.

The practice is already illegal in Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand. Animal welfare charities say that stunning lobsters with an electric gun or chilling them in cold air or ice before boiling them is more humane.

    the opposite of anecdote is data. you are not a dietician. you should stop giving medical advice

      Ok, name me a nutrient and I’ll give you either a plant-based source of it or evidence that your body or gut biome produces it itself

      And yeah, I agree, if you want to have a healthy diet you need to read up on dietology and/or visit a dietologist. But this has nothing to do with veganism, omnivores need to do it too.

        Retinol, DHA/EPA, heme iron, creatine, carsonine, and carnitine all must be synthesized, and the precursors are not nearly as bioavailable animal based sources of the real deal

        of course this conversation started with a statement that every nutrient is available from plant sources, which you’ve already moved the goal posts on. you’re not here in good faith, you’re here to be right.

        and even “plant based” b12 from spirulina is biologically inactive in humans.
