One thing is certain (it's a sort of analogy of Godwin's Law): whenever anyone posts a heads-up about sausages - or indeed any kind of meat product - the thread'll turn into a veggie-vs-carnivore debate before you can say "George Monbiot"......
Where do I sit? Comfortably on the fence, if you please! I'm a peskie, though we actually indulge in fish only three or four times a week: twice as a main evening meal, and once or twice as a lunchtime snack (e.g. smoked salmon or mackerel).
Talking of the esteemed Mr Monbiot
(whom every populist loves to deride - isn't he a marvellous target!) - he's often on the wrong track but his
articles on the meat industry are worth taking note of - agree or violently disagree - it's your choice!
Let Mercurio enjoy his cheapo salami (neigh!) if he really must - it'll go well with those tesco burgers from a few years back! No-one's going to turn the entire Western world veggie overnight, but I'd really like more people to regard meat as a luxury food - if they can't forsake the steak, chop or drumstick altogether, at least indulge
only twice or three times a week (cf. our above-mentioned pattern for fish). To do that you'll have to try out and learn to enjoy a variety of meat-free meals. It ain't hard!
I should point out that many (but not all) of our veggie dishes are also vegan-friendly. For those who think vegan food is boring - think again! But I wouldn't go vegan altogether. At least - not at the present time.
That would be stereotyping!
