When you factor in the amount of landmass, number of animals killed, pollution and water use a kilo doesn’t come close to a whole pig. 
I’ll check out the carbon neutral thing, but for what I earn over in places like New York or Los Angeles I don’t mind giving a bit back to ease my conscience.
 

Coca production is terrible for the environment, because you have the farmers clearing sections of rain forest to grow it and you have the government spraying chemicals from the sky to kill off plots. This ends up being a constant cycle of trees being cut because their plot has been destroyed and then it ends up being sprayed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca_production_in_Colombia#Environmental_Effects

Pigs on the other hand are actually fairly good for their environment, they can be reared on land that is low in nutrients where crops wouldn't grow. They then root around in the ground and shit everywhere which turns the soil over naturally whilst providing nutrients to it. Las Vegas is a great example of this because their pig farms are taking a load of waste from the excessive buffets and feeding the pigs with it instead of it just being sent to landfill. Then you move the pigs off that land and starting growing crops.

One thing that's a bit strange to me is that 4 or 5 years ago I would be chomping at the bit to see this fight.. I'm not massively arsed about it, but when it comes to fight week that might change. I do want to see McGregor get smashed though.

I’ve done the math before an I think a bacon sandwich is still worse than a years heavy use. The worst thing I do by a country mile is flying, I fly way too much. Harms more animals than anything else I do and does more damage to the planet. I justify it by donating some of the money I earn to charities (mostly animal ones,) but it’s still bad and this year I’m cutting it down.

First of all it's maths, not math, you're not a septic. Secondly an entire hog roast would most likely be less environmentally damaging than a kilo of sniff when you take into account processing and transporting it. As for flying you can use carbon offsetting certificates to give money to plant trees that would making your flight carbon neutral or even carbon negative.

@Rey_Piste that sounds on the higher end of using animal products and the closest thing to “ethically” eating meat. I couldn’t kill an animal that didn’t need to die though.

That's the difference between him and you really he is more concerned about his environmental impact than any perceived morality when it comes to the eating of meat.It's why he converted his Landrover to LPG/Biofuel and when he buys food it's always locally sourced whenever possible.

Wolverhampton has gas chambers for pigs , I’ve been there a few times and heard them screaming as their lungs burn. Fucking awful place 

I was talking more about the conditions of the animals on the farms, rather than the conditions the animals are slaughtered in.

I just wonder what your stance is on someone like a friend of mine who I always call a "middle-class Good Life wanker".He runs a small campsite in Cornwall, he keeps goats, ducks and chickens as well as growing a lot of his own vegetables. He's not solely vegetarian, but the majority of his food is plant based. He will occasionally kill a chicken or duck to eat, as well as killing rabbits in season because they are pests that if left unchecked would decimate his vegetables. Because he is killing the animals himself they are killed quickly and he takes good care of his animals .

I’ve been to places which are absolute hell on earth. Atrocious conditions that no living creature should endure

I've been to Wolverhampton as well, luckily I  only had to spend a few hours there.

Putting an animal that is suffering to sleep is totally different from forcing one into cruel living conditions before slitting its throat to eat. People don’t put their pets to sleep for enjoyment the same way livestock is killed.
 

I would say that farm animal standards in the UK are very good, the animals aren't pumped full of steroids and hormones like they are in many countries. It's not like calves are kept in veal crates and battery farming chickens is way down to what it was. I also don't think anyone who works in an abattoir gets a kick out of slaughtering animals either.

@UK Kat Von D Your definition of animal abuse seems to be a lot different to mine. The way you're putting it then Vets could be seen to partake in animal abuse since they have to put down animals. Even though they spend awful lot of their lives helping animals.

Oh baby a triple.

Christ, it's like lining up all your favourite songs on a jukebox and then leaving the pub.

Only if your favourite songs are Queen Don't stop me now, Radiohead karma Police followed by Simon and Garfunkel Sound of Silence. Just to top it of with REM Everybody hurts coming on at random.

Malcolm Middleton - We're All Going to Die

Just popped in to post this.

Pictured below is after a quick Google search

For transparency, that map is from the 2017 election and comes from https://electionmaps.uk. 

24 hours after seeing the exit polls, all I have to say is that I'm not angry. Just disappointed.

All I can see.

Or considering  what day it is.

Who's election night coverage is the best these days and most impartial? I can't decide who to watch...

I am going with Channel 4 for a bit, though replacing John Snow with Claire Balding and Kathryn Ryan with a silicone sex doll is a bit strange.

Note of caution on the "massive queues, must be high turnout" theory is that it could just be working folk trying to get it done before work, rather than dick about in the dark on the way back.

It was more my pointing out that there were quiet orderly queues. Not some panicking writhing mass of people. At least people are participating in democracy.

I still have a sinking feeling in my stomach, but I am a pessimist. Whilst I am not superstitious it seems apt tomorrow is Friday the 13th.

It's nice to see an article about massive orderly queues at polling stations. https://metro.co.uk/2019/12/12/longest-queues-ever-people-stand-line-around-block-vote-11771760/

I was just going to post that, though who would you want as a replacement?

Any idea why YouTube embedding isn't working?

Bought Yooka Laylee for the Switch in the sale. I am enjoying the throwback late 90s 3D platforming action. Considering that it was developed by a lot of the ex-Rare programmers that worked on Banjo and Kazooie it is extremely reminiscent of the N64 games.
