    Definitely meat - I’ve been vegetarian for a very long time and vegan since COVID, and no plans of stopping anytime soon! Flying is a bit more difficult, but I work from home and when my work requires me to travel, I’m lucky that I have the ability to take a train, so I do that. I do like traveling occasionally, and for some of the places I want to go, I can’t realistically avoid flying.

    If anyone here is interested in giving up or reducing meat intake but needs a little advice or extra support to get started, please let me know. I’m happy to share any knowledge and tips I can!

      I live with my folks and I can’t say no to them serving me meat. I tell them I’d love to reduce my meat intake and they agree … only to put meat on everything l the time. When I order or cook alone I try going vegetarian if I can.

      What are some good vegetarian inspiring websites/cookbooks that you’d recommend for the next time I’m out grocery shopping?

      I used to go veggie before and I found the meat cravings pretty crazy. Do you do impossible or beyond? Or do you stay away from those entirely?

        can’t say no to them serving me meat.

        Offer to cook one meal a week for the family, and take it as an opportunity to showcase meat-free meals. If they’re dyed-in-the-wool carnivores, you’ll have to start with typical meat dishes using substitutes e.g. lasagne made with soya mince.
