On the other hand, KT3, someone who is a carnivore but for environmental, ethical or dietary reasons wants to switch to more plant based products that is precisely what they (me?) want.
Nanny Beach, I agree with you about the problem with vegan bacon, sausages etc. If somebody is so opposed to eating animal products why would they want to eat something which looks, smells and tastes exactly the same?
Some people might like meat, but not the way animals are treated in order to produce it.
Everyone going veggi or vegan would not save the planet, there isnt enough room for all the veg to be grown, what would happen to the animals, the farmers!
It's hypothesised that if we cut out the majority of needless food waste that we could could give up farming an area of the world larger than Australia. Of course in reality if we cut out the majority of needless food waste we could just use that food to feed the people that are starving in other countries...
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I think a lot of meat eaters [ myself included ] think that we should be eating less meat, we have certainly reduced our intake and now eat more fish and even some vegetarian. There is however, a lot of land in this country, that if it did not have sheep on it, would be unsuitable for anything else.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I've just been thrown into this headache of a stream. I'm surrounded by some brilliant farmland on the south downs, and we still have sheep grazing. Total waste in my eyes. Mixing farming could work, orchards and light grazing and other stuff. Not to mention that sheep wreck land. Alpacas would be a better choice surely! It's purely a lack of imagination.
I've a friend that tries to eat ethically, buys only certain types of organic meat that he believes comes from better raised and farmed animals, and he only eats meat at the weekends, eating vegan pretty much for the rest of it.
