Should we all go Vegan? Come to a New Year's debate on the issue:Tues 8th Jan

From 104 London Debaters

Alone-background-basket-1327211For our first meeting of the new year, we consider one option which some people take up as a New Year's Resolution for cleaner, more ethical living.  Our motion will be: This House would go Vegan.

Is your New Year's resolution to improve your persuasive speaking/debate skills?  Is it to change your diet? Whatever your resolution coming along to our debate on 8 January will be a good start to 2019!

Here are some opposing views on the Vegan issue to get you thinking:

According to The Guardian, avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet. Further, there is now a great deal of convincing data that breeding animals for food dirties the air and chews up the earth. One recent peer-reviewed study from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine calculates that should the world go vegan, annual greenhouse gas emissions would halve and the new land used every year for each person would near-halve. The diet is also healthier personally, it's claimed.

But The Telegraph demurs, describing the self-righteous ritual involving metropolitan media elite staples such as kale and quinoa, a sudden obsession with turmeric, and baffling tolerance for the culinary aberration that is rubbery tofu.

What's your opinion? Come scrutinize the arguments and give us your own.

104 London Debaters is the UK's first and only Toastmasters club dedicated to debate.  

Our debate is on Tuesday, 8 January 2019, 6:45 gathering for 7:00 gavel, The Grange Rochester Hotel, 69 Vincent Square,  SW1P-2PA (entrance on Vane Street).  Near Victoria Station and Pimlico Station. Convenient to Vauxhall Station as well.

104 London Debaters meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at The Grange Rochester

 GUESTS ARE WELCOME TO SPEAK IN FLOOR CONTRIBUTIONS
