Speaking for myself, a 27 year old mum of two young kids who is always thinking about weight and well being, Huel fits the bill for me. Less cooking and cleaning, only have to make small meals for the boys who eat like birds anyway. My kids like the taste of Huel so occasionally they have a bit of mine with breakfast. Perfect for family life!!!
I am not suprised Huel is more popular with men seeing as the supplement business has thrived for so many years with bodybuilding etc…men have always been very into their shakes and macros in that industry. So many women I know are increasingly into this too now though. I do think Huels advertising is quite masculine and male driven. For a female audience I think more emphasis on calorie counting for weight management is needed. Pretty much all the women I know always focus on calorie counting rather than macros in this regard and Huel doesn’t emphasise the benefits enough in regards to this IMO.
Yeah, I get that, but there’s a bit of a difference between yelling “Ew you’re drinking cow’s puss” or destroying someone’s livelihood and saying “Wot’s that vegan shite you got in that shaker lol”.
It works both ways, you’re right, but I’ve never seen an anti-vegan extremist.
Two words: Piers. Morgan. The guy who flipped his lid at the idea of a vegan sausage roll and now makes a point of tweeting how many farm animals died for his breakfast.
There’s definitely a problem with becoming too defensive about your dietary choices, from both the sides of vegans and omnivores. If either feel like they’re being preached to then it’s going to get their backs up and just alienate them further.
A few of us watched that new documentary called The Game Changers last night and there’s a bit right at the end about this and recognising that everyone is on a journey and by being ‘preachy’ you risk losing the battle early. If everyone does a little we can have a massive impact. There’s no point <1% being total vegans and everyone else ignoring it.
A great Philosopher once wrote ( naughty naughty very naughty )
Eat what you want and don’t worry about what others eat. Well I just made that up really
Did Jesus eat meat, I heard he ate fish with his disciple dudes and apparently in the Bible in Genesis 9:3 it says
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
King James Version
This works when your population is of a reasonable size, everything’s fair game and sustainably so.
Doesn’t quite work for 7.5 billion people!
Always feel like the issue that people like to quietly forget about is overpopulation. Can’t help but feel like when we hit 15 billion people we’ll be preaching that even a plant based diet is unsustainable.
@Liath at the risk of being sexist, I think cosmopolitan magazine has a majority female audience… so here’s some technically female-focused PR on LinkedIn:
It’s okay - I’m not actually the official feminist police - honestly! And Cosmopolitan describe themselves as a women’s magazine which is entirely reasonable given the content is created to appeal to women rather than men (far fewer men are interested in reading about a lot of the topics they cover).
plot twist…whales aren’t fish. But to be fair I think the Bileball got quite a few things wrong.
Apparently he killed 40 people with a severe gluten allergy, cos the baguettes he used were cheap flour. That was glossed over in the New Testament. St. Paul wanted me to break the news in the Daily Mail a few years ago when they were short of news, but I’d just finished my contract with Northcliffe Media and I never got the scoop (I felt like a first time American Huel user when he opened his box).
