Who else wants to be a vegetarian?
I heard on the news this morning that the government is considering encouraging us to become vegetarians for the sake of the planet. According to some research by the University of Chicago recently discussed at EcoStreet, it’s more effective to give up eating meat, than to replace your gas-guzzler with a Toyota Prius. This added to my recent personal misgivings about eating meat means that I’m going to be devising a plan to reduce meat consumption in our home. I respect the right of choice for the rest of the members of the household, so it won’t be a case of no meat at all, but I will only be providing a meal including meat once a week. There remains the issue of ensuring that everyone gets their vitamins etc. But I’m sure we’ll muddle through. Marmite contains B12 doesn’t it?












Isn’t marmite made from beef? Might be vegemite you’re after!

My jar of marmite has a vegetarian symbol on it so I suppose it’s okay. Thanks for the warning though.

Interesting — although not totally shocking. It’s really all the smaller issues stacked together that make a difference. Guess I won’t be buying a car or eating cows. Nice blog!
