Vegetarianism in hindsight

So we did a week on vege food, and neither of us was craving meat by the end of it. So we are going to try and implement some principles:

1. Only eat meat one meal a day

2. Only eat meat that has been come from free-range animals

3. Eat at least two vego night time meals per week.

We'll see how we go. I have to admit, it's easier to chuck a piece of animal flesh on to cook and add the veges compared with most of the meals I cooked this week, but probably I just need to adjust to the prep for cooking vego. Most of the meals seemed to taste better on re-heating the following day as well. The onion and blue cheese tart, the vege lasagne and the spicy haloumi and pasta were our faves. Anyway, hopefully it will lead us to more ethical eating.

If you'd like to read an excellent book that explores the inconsistencies and contradictions in our relationships with (non-human) animals, get yourself Hal Herzog's 'Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat'....a very good read!
