3rd January 2025
For the last few years January has become Veganuary – a month in which to enjoy good food that is good for the planet and good for social justice. If we are all ate less meat we would have no problem growing enough food to feel the world’s growing population, we could restore vast tracts of land for nature and reduce greenhouse gas emissions!
Eating less meat is about eating more beans and pulses, nuts and seasonal vegetables. It is about switching from dairy to plant milk and dairy butter to plant butter. It is about enjoying a great richness and variety of flavours – herbs and spices, nuts and seeds, fruits and juices.
Here is an encouraging article from the Guardian – https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/jan/01/meera-sodha-veganuary?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
