I'm really happy to hear your opinio...Hey Oana,<br />I'm really happy to hear your opinions on this post. I think you make some good points about diet and food-related decision-making... and you hit the nail right on the head when talking about reducing meat consumption. In my opinion, whether you eat it every day or once a month, the key is just to eat less of it, without necessary giving up on stuff you like, or don't want to give up.<br /><br />As for going vegan, I have a similar mind block. I think eggs, milk and yogurt are great and I can't see myself not eating them either. But this is what I've done so far: I buy all my eggs directly from farmers or shops which bring them from their farms. I guess at this point I have the feeling those are better than what you see in the stores, to be sure, you can always ask about the chicken.<br /><br />As for yogurt, I either buy it in a carton (to avoid the plastic) or I really love the Yosa yogurt (which comes in plastic which is why I've cut down recently). It's a vegan yogurt that I tried once just to see what it was like but ended up really loving the taste. I've tried others and I didn't really like them like this one, so then when I was buying vegan yogurt, it actually ended up being for the taste and not the vegan-ness :DinFinnLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227843328251055313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573282518328577171.post-50211077136445548272011-09-09T11:18:17.801+03:002011-09-09T11:18:17.801+03:00That's a sensitive topic.

Well, in our home we've discussed much about whether the meat is or not needed in our diet, so if we can survive without it. And also how healthy is the meat we have available on the market.<br /><br />From a health perspective, meat is probably the worst choice one can make. Animals growing with hormones for fast growth, injected with antibiotics, and then, when processed, the meat is again injected with preservatives and other staff.<br /><br />Since we haven't concluded anything about the role of meat in nutrition, we decided to reduce meat in out diet. I don't have any rules for when I do and do not eat meat, but I reduced meat considerably. I eat vegetarian meals very frequently and when cooking, I use small pieces. There are days when I eat completely vegetarian and I have no problems with that.<br /><br />When it comes to other animal products, that's even more difficult. I am not sure I can cook without eggs or yogurt, although some people do it...Oananoreply@blogger.com
