From BBC:
Although accurate figures are difficult to obtain, China is believed to be responsible for the majority of global cases of cat and dog slaughter. Each year, around four million cats and 10 million dogs are believed to be slaughtered in the country. The Humane Society says the majority are stolen pets and strays that are captured and kept in cages. The tradition of eating dogs dates back thousands of years, even though they are often kept as pets. Each year in June, the city of Yulin in southern China hosts a dog meat festival, where live dogs and cats are sold specifically for eating and an estimated 10,000 are slaughtered for their meat. But last year saw big protests against the festival from within China as well as in the West. |

Let's hope it's not being used in takeaways here. Any unexplained cat or dog missing in your area? I did hear a rumour ages ago in Golders Green about missing cats.

Try red lentils, cheap, easy to cook, very versatile. Can stick them in sauces to thicken them up as well etc.
If you are avoiding meat try Quorn as well, especially the chicken chunks are very versatile. |

I’m not really avoiding meat, I’m avoiding calories. But I’m trying to make sure I get 50 grams of protein a day. I do an hours weight training every other day.
I was thinking a chicken breast and a couple of eggs would do it. I always have lots of smoothies, with greens, carrots and apples, mostly. I make about 6 at a time and freeze them. I eat berries too. I like pizza on a Saturday night, with garlic bread. Just not very much. I take a multi vitamin, calcium tablets and an Omega 3 tablet, everyday. I work 3-4 days a week and have a very healthy home cooked meal there with lots of veggies, so I don’t do too badly. I buy two bags of Revels a week and count out 10 and have them with a Cappuccino every evening for a treat  (I have been known to scoff the lot  )I love Smarties, too. I have 16 Smarties as an evening treat. If you need any advice on healthy eating just let me know |

"Food Unwrapped" on C$ is going to talk about protein supplements AND peanut butter tonight, right now.
I normally find this a fairly tabloidy crap show and don't watch it, but I'll watch as it has peanut butter  , and to see how they can work out how to blame bad peanut butter on Trump and Brexit   BTW Protein shakes are obviously another way to get protein. Don't buy full price H&B though! |

If you already make smoothies chucking in a scoop (or even 1/2) of a suitable whey protein shake sounds a good option. You can buy them with that added anyway, it's not a wierd thing to do!

Peanuts grow underground, I did not know that! But sure enough quick they do. They are like hard little onions.

By:
Thanks, JC. I’ve only just looked on here. I’m going to record it on C4+1
Whey protein sounds like a good idea to add to smoothies. Can I get it at Tesco, do you know? I can’t be bothered to go to Holland & Barrett |
|
By:
I knew they grew underground and that they aren’t actually nuts. They are a legume, I think

By:
H&B is one source but they regularly have it on 2 for 1 offers it's overpriced I think normal price.
Not sure about Tesco, it's more a "health food" kind of thing. AMazon of course sells it (but it sells everything!). At a glance Tesco might sell it (I see it online anyway) but the ones I'm seeing are very expensive. |

By:
Thanks, JC. This one looks alright
.https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/271555055 25 servings and over 9 grams of protein per serving. |

And only 38 calories per serving.

Well you could try it to see if you like it, once you do shop around for better value if you'll use it regularly.
It can come flavoured like bananna, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate etc: https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/precision-engineered-whey-protein-belgian-chocolate-60006952 |

I wouldn’t want a flavoured one. Oh, protein powders are on now.
|
|
By:
It’s no wonder protein powders are expensive when you see how they’re made.
|
|
By:
Well as I say you can get offers or shop around. H&B regularly have sales 2 for 1 (penny sale is that in effect) etc.

That's the reason they're called peanuts - on account of being a legume, same as peas are. WARNING DOES NOT IN FACT CONTAIN NUTS |

A healthy teaspoonful (or more) rocks up a curry / chilli every time. Highly recommended!

It's also a major ingredient of satay sauce which is yummy with seafood and bbq meat.
