There was a report on this week's 'Country File' TV programme about the benefits of cutting out meat altogether for one day a week and that we should eat far less red meat than we do. The idea is being sponsored by Sir Paul McCartney and it is not only beneficial to our health, but also good for the environment in general, because methane gas, as produced by cattle is the biggest contributor to Global Warming. There was a great deal more in the report and I found it very interesting indeed.
It did strike me, however, that had I seen it nine months ago, I would have found it offensive in the extreme! Isn't it fascinating how we, as humans (or at least me, at any rate) are ready to dismiss out of hand a new idea, without having tried it! Having been a vegetarian for the best part of nine months (is it really that long?) it made perfect sense and I can vouch for the fact that our new eating plan still excites and is still delicious. The fact that it is also good for us and the environment is a wonderful added bonus, as far as I am concerned!
