Can You Give Up Meat for a Month?
When TTT co-chair Richard mentioned he was going to go vegetarian for January, it made me think could I?
Some vegetables, yesterday |
Not eating meat and what it means, touches on so many of the environmental issues that TTT has tried to tackle over the years. Land and water use, global warming, animal welfare, population growth, the carbon cycle, the changing climate, human health and well-being all seem relevant. It sparked my interest. Then I saw an ad for veganuary on the tube, a campaign to encourage people to become vegan for a month. Could I, a lover of bacon sandwiches, lamb karahi, fillet steak and recently copious amounts of turkey join in with such an endeavour?
I think I can but… how? What will it be like? What about fish? Is anyone else out there interested? There’s only one day to decide … DT
