Extinction Rebellion co-founder Roger Hallam has taken to Twitter to share his frustration in an 11-point thread after he was served carrots and a handful of potatoes for dinner as the \u2018vegan option\u2019 in hospital.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Hallam posted a photo of an almost empty plate from his bed which had just a portion of carrots on it, writing 391 words on the environmental benefits of going vegan \u2013 but did admit he had already eaten the \u2018six\u2019 potatoes that were served on the side.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The controversial environmentalist, 56, who also helped form eco mobs <\/em>Insulate Britain<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>Just Stop Oil<\/em><\/a>, has been in hospital <\/em>after \u2018crushing\u2019 his leg during an accident while riding his bike<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was last Friday pictured with an external fixator on his right leg which is used to hold broken bones in place with metal pins or screws.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes after\u00a0<\/em>a week of \u2018slow-marching\u2019 protests by Just Stop Oil across central London<\/em><\/a>, with expected action on Saturday at 12pm in Westminster.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not really sure what else a vegan can expect to eat in winter in our glorious fossil fuel free future. There will ne food imports, because they will need fossil fuels to ship them. So there will be little else  than potatoes and carrots for months at a time, unless you want something out of a tin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way Roger, I wonder how much fossil fuels were used to manufacture that fixator around your leg, ferry you to the hospital in an ambulance or supply all of the other things needed in the hospital to keep you alive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
