There really is, I was hoping to clear as much of it up as possible. Essentially, you can eat what ever makes your body feel it’s best…But your mind? That needs to be healthy too, so if eating animals makes you feel bad or upset then It’s probably better you make positive choices to remove it gradually.
I’m glad you buy locally though, supporting the economy! I buy fresh fruit and veg locally but I can’t afford the meat prices!

I’ve been considering making a slow transition to vegan recently, there’s just so much conflicting advice about what to do these days.

We currently source our food locally and from places we trust, but ultimately I’m still eating an animal :/

Oooh and bacon and chicken wraps *cough* I had one for lunch today, wierdly I had it with guacamole but it was so nice, really creamy! I don’t think I’d survive without bacon!

Different things work for different people and I know for me cutting out on meat and reducing it massively has made a massive difference to my health and how bloated I feel x

I do eat meat and have not tried the meat free alternatives so couldn’t comment on whether there is any taste difference I like my bacon sarnies too much

Great post, I am a meat eater though although sometimes would be quite happy with a meat free dinner. My Daughter only eats certain meats. I think a lot of it is down to personal choice x

Great, interesting post. I am almost meat free – I do eat chicken but have virtually cut out other meat – just because I don’t like the thought of it any more! I like quorn as a substitute. Kaz x

Thank you Lena! I used to be the same, I hated the texture of meat when I was younger.
I’m not pro meat or meat-free. I’m neither, I definitely couldn’t be a vegetarian, I love my fajitas and burritos too much! x

Me too, I’m coming at it from a meat-eater stand point too but balance is beauty. I’m really happy to have days without meat if I’m doing just cardio, strength sessions I need the meat! x

A very informative post. I’m on a very high protein diet at the moment for strength training and there is just no way I would be able to get all that protein strictly from plants without having to eat ALL DAY (like cows do!). I eat a lot of meat, but I eat a lot of vegetables too.

To be honest I can’t imagine life without meat and have never considered going meat free, though your arguments are very compelling. My 6 year old is almost meat free (through his choice), he has decided he doesn’t like meat and will only eat ‘soft’ meats ie mince, ham… He mostly has a vegetarian diet, I ensure he gets his fibre, protein… In other ways.
As always a great and informative post!
