While I realize that, my personal concern for their feelings does not outweigh my desire to stop eating animal similar my dachies. Right now, I just picture fish wearing short Falke socks.

Article in a paper today, 40% of people cutting back on meat consumption.

Honestly its not a hard thing to do. There are also lots of benefits to it so I cant imagine why anyone would be against it.

Mate, it is hard. Let’s not beat around the bos! There are lots of benefits to stop smoking, to stop drinking etc....

 

I’m fortunate, being in UK and have some “means”, so I went out and bought about 15 different types of “alternative” meats to gets. They taste like ***. All of them.

 

As an animal, I want and like meat. Don’t discount the challenge to give up meat.

The hardest part is when travelling/socialising.

 

At home, its pretty easy, but the moment the environment changes it gets a little tricky. Not impossible, but you have to pay attention and be diligent.

Yeah fair enough, Im sure its different for everyone.

For me it was a case of my wife experimenting with all veg meals. They were so good that we just started having them more often and now we dont eat meat anymore.

Honestly I dont like the meat substitutes, they never taste anything like the real thing and the texture is just wrong.

 

I saw a few people that are fully vegan have mentioned earlier in this thread that you have to put a little more effort into flavours when cooking and know your spices to get the most out of it.

She just sounds like a real pain..also had issues with children playing.

Yeah its super unreasonable to expect your neighbors to stop braaing because you dont like the smell of it.

I can understand the basketball thing though, that could drive anyone insane.

Meat substitutes generally taste like crap, best avoided. Those that taste semi decent have a healthy dose of salt like Greggs vegan range or the KFC vegan burger. Again, those levels of salt are probably not all that healthy.

 

We make vegetarian curries, green thai curries etc or Bolognese sauces with just vegetables, don't miss meat that much but I aint religious about it. If I happen to be driving past the Hot Rock butchery on a Saturday morning and their boerie rolls on the braai smell wafts into my car I do the right thing and have one as an example. I have cut down on meat a lot, I guess that's a good thing in many ways.

I went to spur and ate the bean burger. It was really good. I wouldnt be surprised if the chef cooked my pattie on a contaminated grill, knowing how the spur operates.
