The poll question in today's Metro: "Would you stop eating meat to save the planet?" http://www.metro.co.uk/polls

Hopefully if enough people vote 'yes' it might help persuade others that not eating meat is considered 'normal'...

I just voted.

At the moment:

Yes at 43 percent.
No at 57 percent.

i've just voted too, seems a lot of veggies have just been on there:
Yes - 52%
No - 48%

Mind you putting "Would you.." rather than "Will you..." means that the results are open to interpretation! Have voted anyway.

^Indeed. And I also noticed you can vote multiple times, which means the results are not particularly useful.

**harpy** · Oct 28th, 2009, 01:44 PM

Can you? Vote early, vote often

**DavidT** · Oct 28th, 2009, 05:37 PM

81% yes at the moment.

And rulska, I tried voting again: "Sorry, you've already voted on this poll" it says...

**derwenna** · Oct 28th, 2009, 08:38 PM

Yeah, I tried voting again (purely for research purposes, you understand

) and it wouldn't let me either. Have to see what they actually print tomorrow...

Somehow I managed to vote twice!
Brilliant results, so happy to see it in our favour!

New poll to vote on - same question but in the Daily Fail today: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ve-planet.html

The figure the Metro printed in today's paper was 56% yes 44% no. Still, the 'yes' vote was in the majority, which is something.
