    Permanent pasture is just as important for carbon capture as trees are. 

    Ploughing up grazing land to grow vegetables would release vast amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.  .

    Ah yes @Lyn - all those hills we have here and in Wales and Cumbria. Get rid of the sheep and grow quinoa instead.
    Aye right. That'll  work well.....

    I'd happily live on soup and toast. When you've spent 40, or more, years cooking every r*ddy meal for everyone else, every night [ and day ] you get to the point where you just can't be bothered any more.  :D

    So many people just don’t understand that Dove.  The Rice growers are doing untitled damage, although not as much as power stations.  All due to too many people wanting too much stuff.

    @Fairygirl. Oh yes! I know that feeling well,  the quicker the meal, the better these days.

    Rice growers in particular?

    No not in particular, just in general.  Power stations are worse.

    @Lizzie27 Bok choi or ribbed out cavelo nero lightly fried in butter with garlic, loads of salt might bring you around to greens. But good to fill up on veg that you do love. Frozen and/or canned veg counts too.
    This has made me VERY hungry.  Lightly fried spinach with garlic and salt on top of eggs on a morning is heavenly.

    I do eat some meat but very rarely; only because I don't particularly like it (taste, texture etc).

    Veggies excite me and I enjoy almost all of them. 

    Horses for courses.

    ...reminds me of the Dartmoor pony burgers - an attempt to increase the value of the ponies to keep their farming viable...
