Simple answer to that, there is no sunshine in Scotland, only rain and drunks.


It is a sad story, but so many people out in the world have no clue when it comes to nutrition, and when you try to impose a belief system on that lack of knowledge we end up with cases like this, or a holy war.

I have no problem if you want to be a vegetarian/vegan as an adult (as long as you don't try to feed me your food, blegh), but children need meat and meat derived nutriment.
