Can you actually be as you put it be a full blown doctrine vegan if you interact with modern day society

yes, they are easy to spot though, and if they aren't, don't worry, they will tell you soon enough.*
note: tongue firmly in cheek. we are all different and we should celebrate it not lambaste people for their choices.

In my opinion -20 celsius is a comfortable temperature for working in the woods if it isn't too windy. Carpentry becomes difficult below -20 because the wood becomes brittle and pretty much impossible below -25 because you cannot work barehanded at all.
I remember walking to school in -38 celsius but that was awfully cold.
The human body is adaptable. It speeds up metabolism in cold weather. The first freezing days every autumn are terrible so I can understand that southerners whose bodies never have time to adopt think that freezing temperatures are always terrible.
Warm clothes are important. Layer upon layer upon layer.

serious answer, yes you can be a devote vegan and survive modern society, it takes a lot of effort and an awful lot of heavily processed everything though.

AJB Temple wrote:Pure vegan is almost impossible. It would require no pesticides to be used in growing food, and no animal recycling used in fertilisers for either (eg blood, fish and bonemeal). It is very hard to farm efficiently for high volume food production without some damage to animals and insects.

Extra layers can always be added to keep warm but when the birthday suit has to be worn and it is still to hot to go outside, in public, then I really suffer.

I went to Lapland with the kids a few years ago and it was -23. With the proper snow suits and boots they give you it was absolutely fine with no wind as you say.

They are the invention of Big Oil when Standard Oil was broken up as a way to keep profits up and the reason we are still stuck in the plastic age as their selfish stance drives the continuing existence of the fossil fuel industry to keep making the plastics they insist we must all wear and use rather than nice biodegradable natural bits of cow, donkey and Bambi. Petrol and diesel are just off spin products in their mad quest to get us all to buy nasty plastic tat from their methane breathing lizard overlords based in China. After all where would we be if our cave dwelling ancestors hadn't used some nice natural Oryx jaw bone to bash each others heads in? Like shooting a Scotsman on a Sunday with a War bow is legal on the Isle of Mann we should be allowed to hunt down all Vegans and be able to dispatch them using Lego and a slingshot on a Tuesday afternoon (I normally don't have anything to do on a Tuesday afternoon, so it would be convenient).
I got all the relevant information to form my views on this subject from the Tinterweave and Fox News, Ipso Facto it has to be true.
