Easy On The Meat

Meat may be downright delicious but the way cows, pigs, sheep and chickens are reared uses lots of fossil fuels and creates lots of CO2 - more than the car industry. So go Easy On The Meat. Even chopping out several portions a week would make a decent difference.

I don't like eating meat. Next month i'm going vegetarian with high hopes of going vegan by the end of the year.

I don't mean to be harsh or rude, but some of these comments are ridiculous! "Still eat some chicken and fish though, I'm a rather fussy vegetarian." WOW, okay here's the news flash: meat=nonvegetarian; no meat=vegetarian. Becoming a "raw foodist" does not mean your vegan. Isn't this ridiculous! LOL

My family is greek, so I have been brought up to eat meat almost by default. I love vegetables, but I also love meat. Sorry if you don't like that! But my new years resolution is not to order meat by default whenever I eat out (exception for fish) and I am enjoying the different ways of cooking veges so far very much!

i agree with andyh, it's not fair that people get judged for eating chicken & fish. seriously. not cool. besides, how do you know how much chicken & fish people eat? i only eat some every now & then anyways. and stephanie, if you read my comment carefully, you'd see that i want to become a raw foodist (which is, essentially, vegan). i can't just snap my fingers & make it happen though - it's a process.

Hmmm, well that's a fair point of view generally Stephanie, but however you feel morally, in terms of GHG impact, not all animals are created equal

I am very tired of people celebrating how great they are for not eating red meat when they continue to eat chickens and fish. Get a grip. Eating any animal is wrong. There is no argument. Go green, go vegan.

I haven't eaten red meat since I was 12! (I'm 20 now) Still eat some chicken and fish though, I'm a rather fussy vegetarian =/ What I REALLY wanna do is to become a raw foodist.....
