From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Oh dear, how sad, never mind!
Extinction Rebellion co-founder Roger Hallam has taken to Twitter to share his frustration in an 11-point thread after he was served carrots and a handful of potatoes for dinner as the ‘vegan option’ in hospital.
Mr Hallam posted a photo of an almost empty plate from his bed which had just a portion of carrots on it, writing 391 words on the environmental benefits of going vegan – but did admit he had already eaten the ‘six’ potatoes that were served on the side.
The controversial environmentalist, 56, who also helped form eco mobs Insulate Britain and Just Stop Oil, has been in hospital after ‘crushing’ his leg during an accident while riding his bike.
He was last Friday pictured with an external fixator on his right leg which is used to hold broken bones in place with metal pins or screws.
It comes after a week of ‘slow-marching’ protests by Just Stop Oil across central London, with expected action on Saturday at 12pm in Westminster.
I’m not really sure what else a vegan can expect to eat in winter in our glorious fossil fuel free future. There will ne food imports, because they will need fossil fuels to ship them. So there will be little else than potatoes and carrots for months at a time, unless you want something out of a tin.
By the way Roger, I wonder how much fossil fuels were used to manufacture that fixator around your leg, ferry you to the hospital in an ambulance or supply all of the other things needed in the hospital to keep you alive?
I see a lot of plastic, Styrofoam, mined-milled-processed metals there, and a con man too.
What was he doing riding a bicycle?
A modern bicycle is not exactly lo-tech. A substantial amount of energy is used to produce the steel/aluminum/carbon fiber frame.
And of course the helmet and other protective gear is also often from hi-tech materials.
Just wondering(?)
I would suggest he go without any protective gear, and ride as fast as possible, ignoring any and all traffic lights.
You must have visited Sydney and seen our bicycle riders.
Unfortunately that’s everywhere.
Big deal, we found another patient who is disappointed in hospital food. He needs to shut the hell up.
I’m guessing that the hospital took its normal evening meal, pulled the meat, then doubled up on the sides before serving it up.
Well in Fairness to him, what the hell else is he going to do all day?
I’m wondering how Mr. Hallam got a plate that looks fresh from the packaging. Outside of the carrots, I don’t see any evidence of food…no juices, butter, bits of skin….plate looks pristine. And how did he eat the supposed potatoes…all his silverware is still in the plastic wrapper, along with his napkin. And by the way….everything in the photo was manufactured from, or by, petroleum…as well as the medical devices, drugs, bed, and hospital building his skinny, sanctimonious, alive-due-to-modern-technology frame is parked in!
In the world this fool longs for his leg would probably get amputated with a civil war era bone saw & no anesthetics…
Don’t forget cabbage, beets, turnips, rutabaga, and parsnips are also winter crops. I guess Roger doesn’t really know what vegan foods are readily available in the winter.
Some fascists claim to be humanitarians
like cannibals on a health kick
eating only vegetarians

Belief that eating vegan or vegetarian does not count as serving practical complete nutrition healthy meals.
The hospital should serve him their regular meals.
If Hallam decides not to eat everything on his plate, that is his choice. If his blood tests indicate deficiencies, they can inject it or supply the necessary vitamins/amino acids/minerals via a drip feed.
Figures the attention seeking twit expects some sort of special treatment for his extremism.
