Over the past year-and-a-half, meat and meat by-products have slowly been disappearing from our shopping lists. Partly for health, partly for our food budget, the move was hugely for the farm animals we mindlessly began calling “food.”
A few weeks ago, it was official. A cold splash in the face, a wake-up call to the fact that even though we were doing quite a bit already, portions of our diet were still (unknowingly) perpetuating the industry we were loath to change. It was time to put up or shut up.
I don’t shut up easily.
