Ahh right, we’ll just sit back & wait then.
Wer’e not just losing fields, we’re losing wildlife habitats at an alarming rate.
I'm not sure that's what I suggested. 🙄
Zero, absolute zero. Lifelong vegetarian here (parents vegetarian, their parents were too). I should get a flippin tax break or something as in today's attitudes it may appear I've been trying to save the planet for 44 years....
None. Veggie who's slowly cutting down on dairy over here.
about 225g / half a pound a day. That seems like a lot!
I can eat more than that in one meal. If I make a chilli con carne I'll use half the packet which is either 225g/250g depending, but that's only after I've done a long bike ride, say 35-40miles xc. My daily lunch usually has a 130g chicken thigh, then whatever I eat in the evening which is usually about the same, be it fish or chicken/steak. I'll eat veggie occasionally, usually once or twice a week. I'm pretty active, on the bike everyday to and from work plus circuit training & yoga two or three times a week, cross country rides at the w/ends.
Loads, particularly as I've now the outstanding Aldi Kamado...
However to try and partially offset the weekend meatfest; we are now having at least one veggie meal a week.
Not much. On Sundays if we're at my OH's mam and dad's for dinner but otherwise unless we've managed to get some game (usually rabbit) from somewhere we don't eat meat at all. Trying to wean myself off dairy now too but I'm finding that really difficult.
Right I did some calculations based on the chicken we bought at the weekend. It was just over 4lb which apparently yields about 2.5lb of meat (approx 60%). It did 10 servings - 4 meat 'n' veg, 2 salad and 4 chicken broth. So that's 1/4lb per serving on average. Also I bought 6 boneless thighs for curry. I would use 1 per person and they are about 3oz each. The pork chops I've got for the weekend are about 1/2lb each but of course there is bone to subtract (haven't done the sums on that one yet). Given that we don't eat meat every day anyway, I would estimate 1/4lb average per day tops.
My wife has never liked plain meat or large quantities, so I've needed a good repertoire of veggie dishes over the years.
This week - and for an increasing number this year - we are veg only. Staples are veg curries, tagines, chilli etc.
My 9-year-old really took to an Anna Jones cookbook we got earlier this year, which is a sort of not explicitly vegan book! I really like the new ingredients and variety I'm finding through all these recipes, plus my kids are really interested in cooking it.
Anyway, we're not veggies - but we're now not far off.
