Not Proud

[poliphilo]

I've started eating meat. It's France that's to blame. You scour the menu for the vegetarian option and all they've got is crudites- you know, raw carrot and zucchini and stuff- so I made a decision before we went-  for the next five days I'm a carnivore.

What I hadn't been prepared for was how my energy levels went up. 

But I'm going to insist we buy meat that's been raised ethically. That's my quarrel with meat-eating- not that I'm sentimental about animals, because I'm not- but that industrial farming is disgusting. 

Last night we had lamb steaks- in a mushroom sauce- with mashed potato. 

I'd forgotten food could be such fun.

Welcome back. Here on Saaremaa I work with the local Saare Mahe - That's the organic food producers union. Their vegetables are so good that they make a body consider becoming vegetarian but the meat our farmers produce is SSSOOOOOooooooo good as well. We believe that a balanced diet with lot's of fresh veg and fruit and reasonable amounts of meat will make you healthier. More energy means more active and that's good for your heart as well. The BBC Food magazine regularly lists local fairs and green markets. You should be able to get a line on ethical producers in your area from them.

You're right, we should do the research and see if there are any farmers' markets in the area.
