Am I the only who believes that Sainsbury's banners are there just to harass vegetarians and vegans?!
I encourage each and every vegetarian and vegan to continue to stand for justice. Do not be discouraged by these cowardly meat eaters who post in our section.

Come on...it's a business - I'm sure any site with has a food section will have a Sainsbury's, Waitrose (or other food stores) ads. blinking in our wee faces.
What I see is an ad for Marie Callender's frozen chicken entrees. I don't know what Sainsbury's is, but from your question it's probably a food company that sells meat products.
Yahoo! is in business to make money, so they sell ad space. In the food section, they're going to sell ad space to food-related businesses. Now, I don't consider Marie Callender's chicken entrees food, so placing the ad on my page is a waste of their time and money. Nothing they say will persuade me to buy Marie Callender's frozen chicken entrees. Are they wasting their money to advertise to vegetarians and vegans? Sure. They would be better off in the cost/benefits ratio to buy ad space where there are meat eaters who are not concerned about the number of calories, the percentage of fat, and the sodium content of their food. Look at it this way: The company is paying money to advertise to you and me, and we are ignoring their efforts. The joke is on them, huh?
By the way, I'm not sure what you're trying to say about "moraless" people. "More or less"? "Immoral"? "Amoral"?
folks.. not all vegetarians are like this.. this person's got issues.
i'll stand up for what i freaking believe in such as.. grow the hell up and mind your own business.
raw vegetarian.. 43 yrs. (and doesn't care what other veggies and meatheads do with their lives)
Granny said it best. You might find this interesting...
Vegan for compassion
no i think they're just trying to communicate with other people who eat meat
just because they are not specifically addressing you and your concerns doesn't mean they are living their lives in an effort to make you mad
people eat meat, sorry
Umm. The only adverts I can see are for vegan chocolate and an investments guide from Forbes.
Unfortunately no. You are not the only one insane or delusional enough to feel this way, although I wish you were.
I understand why you are so upset by this. After all, vegetarians and vegans are doing what they can to help animals and the environment, among other reasons they have decided to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Try not to get angry when others do not understand your choices. Surround yourself with people who are supportive of vegetarians and vegans, as well as other vegetarians and/or vegans.
Remember that people come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives about vegetarians and vegans. Not all non-vegetarians are rude, not all vegetarians are supportive.
My article about how to stay motivated to become vegetation outlines this issue fairly well. (http://www.recipes-for-vegetarians.com/becomevegetarian-10tipstostaymotivated.html)
I hope this advice is helpful!
