I think you mean "Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me, Don."
But yeah, I don't see any of those new ones catches on or the old ones falling out of favor anytime soon, no matter what some presumably-vegan language expert says.
"Feed a fed horse" did give me an image of fattening up a horse through overeating/forcefeeding to eat it later though, so I'm not sure why they went with that one.
No. They're just a front for making money off gullible ignorant animal lovers.
Not 100% sure about the logic in the OP - lots of anachronistic phrases have remained in use hundreds of years after they were no longer relevant - but definitely agree with the sentiment.
Totally agree, save for the bolded part lol
If anyone is interested, CBC News environmental group put out this useful figure comparing carbon footprint of various sources of protein. Serves as a good reference for those new to the topic.

This is incredibly stupid and ignores the reality of how a lot of idioms work. Huge amounts are very outdated and relate to things people barely understand anymore.
My rule of thumb is to not put the cart before the horse by throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Lmao, there's way this is gonna a happen. At the very least, not anytime soon. Especially considering that those replacements are terrible.
Worse than that - they are implying that 'scone' rhymes with 'stone'!
Feeding a whole scone between 2 sparrows is also incredibly irresponsible, way too much salt and sugar for their bodyweight.
PETA should spend more time learning basic animal dietary requirements, and less time encouraging supermodels to go 'naked'.

"Like they say in Brooklyn, early to bed, early to catch the worm. Or is it the bagel?"

Not more fake "outrage" and "offense". God I get so bored hearing this shit. Vegans are not offended by idioms and sayings. Most of them aren't even offended by people eating meat, they understand it's their choice to go vegan in the same way I choose to eat meat.
In the UK, people get really wound up by this stuff and most of it is manufactured to wind people up. I see you, Good Morning Britian and Piers Morgan. I'm not fooling for it.

You can just cut or scrape the peel off a potato - it's a goddamn potato. Skinning a cat requires way more foresight, strength, and planning. That bastard doesn't want to be skinned, you have to get creative.
I'm going to use 'feed a fed horse,' though. That one is too stupid not to.

The feeling of being superior to everyone else is the cause of all interpersonal conflict in the entire world throughout all of recorded history
Yeah almost every time I see veganism come up in the news where I live it's one of those 'look at how crazy those vegans are' articles, even though it doesn't reflect at all what myself and other vegan people I know act like. It's annoying.
Reported. Have fun in jail.
I kinda like grab the flower by the thorns.
Not because of any ethical concerns, because it brings a bloody picture to mind.

No. Sorry vegans. Not changing my language for your ridiculous sensibilities.
I await your comparisons to human oppression in 5...4...3..

Of all the organizations Era takes up arms against, I'm surprised to see so many be cool with Peta.
Also, these phrases are ridiculous and harm no one or thing.
