Fivers aren't suitable for vegetarians, apparently.

The point is this is a silly thing to target when there are bigger moral issues to focus on.

Wait until they find out what's in a tenner.

Soylent Greenbacks, anyone?

A vegetarian cafe is refusing to accept the new £5 note after it emerged the currency contains animal products.

Sharon Meijland, owner of the Rainbow Cafe in Cambridge, has put up signs warning customers about the policy.

There was outcry from some vegetarians and religious groups when it was revealed the polymer used for the notes contains tallow - a type of animal fat.

The Bank of England declined to say whether there was a legal obligation to accept the notes.

'Repulsive'

Mrs Meijland said she had made a "promise" to customers that the cafe was an "ethical establishment".

"[Tallow's] an animal product isn't it? Our whole business is based around not having anything like that on the premises," Mrs Meijland said.

"Although the same person doesn't handle the money that handles the food, that's not really the point."

As a vegetarian, this pisses me off because that's the kind of thing that makes us look like idiotic assholes.

Silly SJW losers.
Who cares whether there are even people ground into the plastic if you can do this with them

I went and listened to the Soundcloud link in the video, I have to say I think it sounds better played through the money.

Never really got all the Vegan/Vegetarian hate. Maybe it's because my youngest daughter is a vegetarian, and her wife is a vegan.

Animal Products go into a lot of things--and a lot of the time it's completely fucking unnecessary. As is the torture of animals. Imagine if every time you went to the store and wanted to save a few bucks, you had to beat a kitten to death with a hammer. I doubt most people would do it. It's unnecessary, and you'd be willing to pay a little more so you don't have to beat a kitten to death.

We live in a world where people still don't vaccinate their goddamn kids. I don't see what's so bad about not wanting your money made out of animal products.
