Definitely meat - I’ve been vegetarian for a very long time and vegan since COVID, and no plans of stopping anytime soon! Flying is a bit more difficult, but I work from home and when my work requires me to travel, I’m lucky that I have the ability to take a train, so I do that. I do like traveling occasionally, and for some of the places I want to go, I can’t realistically avoid flying.
If anyone here is interested in giving up or reducing meat intake but needs a little advice or extra support to get started, please let me know. I’m happy to share any knowledge and tips I can!
I live with my folks and I can't say no to them serving me meat. I tell them I'd love to reduce my meat intake and they agree ... only to put meat on everything l the time. When I order or cook alone I try going vegetarian if I can.
What are some good vegetarian inspiring websites/cookbooks that you'd recommend for the next time I'm out grocery shopping?
I used to go veggie before and I found the meat cravings pretty crazy. Do you do impossible or beyond? Or do you stay away from those entirely?
Offer to cook one meal a week for the family, and take it as an opportunity to showcase meat-free meals. If they're dyed-in-the-wool carnivores, you'll have to start with typical meat dishes using substitutes e.g. lasagne made with soya mince.
