I'm going veggie again!
« on: August 21, 2024, 03:31:15 PM »
I've been a vegetarian - never a vegan - for various periods in the past, and the article linked below has convinced me to do so again. There is undoubtedly  case for lab-grown meat, as the article argues, but I think I'll just give meat up. Logically, I ought to go vegan, but giving up cheese is a step too far. Therefore, once I've used up all the meat in the fridge and freezer, that's it. Any other veggies or vegans on here?

I'm not veggie or vegan, although I was for a few years in the 80's.

We have, however, more or less cut red meat out of our diet - save for the occasional sausage sandwich or bacon roll.

Fish, veggie and chicken is our diet now.

I haven't got the willpower to go full-on veggie. I hope you succeed in your aim.

And like you, cheese is a step too far. I mean what is life without cheese?

Actually, I may carry on eating fish, provided t's wild, not farmed.
