May I say that it is perfectly possible to have a balanced diet without eating any meat or fish. There is a wealth of evidence to back this up and I suggest checking out the Vegetarian website as a first port of call (http://www.vegsoc.org/health/). Also, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that vegetarians are actually healthier than omnivores. In the UK, you can get cheaper life insurance if you are a vegetarian! As you probably know the consumption of meat in particular is responsible for many of the world's problems. The growth of the developing world (particularly India and China) and the increased desire of their populations to consume meat is partially to blame for the sharp rise in food prices. 1 Kilo of beef requires about 7 Kilos of grain to produce it. This is pricing out poorer people from purchasing that same grain to consume themselves. Furthermore, livestock (particularly cows) produce more greenhouse gas than all of the transport in the world combined. Have a look at (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/2007/02/meet_daisy_the_cow_global_climates_enemy_number_on.html). I must say that disagree with his conclusions but the article is very interesting nonetheless. Therefore, if you reduce your consumption of meat, you will helping to: reduce global warming reduce global food prices and thus helping poorer nations reduce cruelty to animals improve you and your family's health you don't have to go the whole way and cut out meat and fish altogether...but how about having one day a week with no meat or fish? Suggest it to your missus... best Julian Sir –

Thank you for your great comments. May I say that it is perfectly possible to have a balanced diet without eating any meat or fish.

As you probably know the consumption of meat in particular is responsible for many of the world’s problems. The growth of the developing world (particularly India and China) and the increased desire of their populations to consume meat is partially to blame for the sharp rise in food prices. 1 Kilo of beef requires about 7 Kilos of grain to produce it. This is pricing out poorer people from purchasing that same grain to consume themselves. Furthermore, livestock (particularly cows) produce more greenhouse gas than all of the transport in the world combined. Have a look at (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/2007/02/meet_daisy_the_cow_global_climates_enemy_number_on.html). I must say that disagree with his conclusions but the article is very interesting nonetheless.

Therefore, if you reduce your consumption of meat, you will helping to:

reduce global warming
reduce global food prices and thus helping poorer nations
reduce cruelty to animals
improve you and your family’s health

you don’t have to go the whole way and cut out meat and fish altogether…but how about having one day a week with no meat or fish? Suggest it to your missus…
