Stevo985 Posted June 11, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2018 Had a BBQ at my mom's yesterday for her birthday. I stuck to veggie alternatives and they were bloody lovely. Sweetcorn and chickpea burgers, sweet potato and red pepper sausages, and haloumi skewers. I was a little bit jealous of the proper beef burgers, but the veggie sausages were so nice that I didn't miss the meat ones at all. It was funny to see my family's reaction to me telling them I was going veggie though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 11, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Can anyone recommend any books on the subject? I've had a few recommended to me. "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer and "Dominion" by Matthew Scully I'd like to read one on my upcoming holiday and I'm leaning towards Dominion at the moment, although I'm a bit worried it's focused too much on the Bible and religion.

Danwichmann Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I've got no intention of going veggie, but I would quite like to reduce the amount of meat I eat. What makes it hard is not so much that I would miss the meat as I just don't like vegetables enough to eat them as an alternative. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the exact opposite. And I don't really like eggs so if I don't eat fish, I don't get a tonne of protein which is bad for me because I have a really active lifestyle.

It was funny to see my family's reaction to me telling them I was going veggie though Next time you have a BBQ, try the LM quarter pounders. They're bloody delicious. Still quite good in the oven, but they're great on a BBQ. About books, I'd really recommend Peter Singer's Animal Liberation. It's a philosophy book written by a professor, but it's remarkably accessible. It was one of the first things to make me even consider my choice to eat meat, before I read that book, it was just what people did.
