Anyone who knows me would know that the last couple of weeks have been exceptionally hard on my stomach. My mother in law is visiting and she’s vegetarian. What this means to a devout carnivore like me is no cooking meat at home, no more take out and no more steak dinners with my friends.
Studies (I choose to ignore most of the time) show, that industrial meat production requires huge energy inputs and creates noxious waste. It takes far more fossil-fuel energy to produce and transport meat than to deliver equivalent amounts of protein from plant sources. The heavy use of carbon-rich fuels also contributes significantly to the emissions of global-warming gases.
Blah! Blah!
I guess what I’m trying to say is that; strict vegetarianism isn’t for everyone (definitely not me). I’ve been a little unhappy, but one less steak a week hasn’t killed me. Not yet anyway.
So, World Saving Tip #3: Replacing one meaty meal with a vegetarian meal, saves you money and possibly the world; one steak at a time.
