IMO people should've dialed down their meat consume for years, everybody knows what it's doing. I'm not a vegetarian by any means (I love many veggy recipes though & I adore good (!) tofu), we (my family) are getting meat from organic farms or from hunters for years, that's more expensive but 2 times a week is absolutely sufficient. Same price as before, roughly. Even my meat devouring daughter thinks like that, but she gets real cranky after 5 days of lentils, bulgur wheat and paprika ;)

I dont understand how people who eat meat every single day don't feel disgusting. I feel horrible eating meat every day. I have more energy and feel lighter when I limit my meat eating to maybe once or twice a week. Plus my farts don't smell as awful when I'm eating mostly plant based things. It's cheaper too! Especially when I end up growing my own garden.

Not sure if growing your own garden is exactly cheaper because of costs for things like fertilizers and time, but if you provide proof I'd be happy to reconsider
