It’s not easy being green. However there are a few ways you can help out mother earth without entirely giving up meat. As a good friend of mine says, if nature didn’t want us to eat meat, it wouldn’t have made them so damned tasty.

Thing is though, it takes an awful lot of resources to raise animals for meat. It’s just not sustainable for us to keep eating meats and animal products at the same rate. Before we know it we’ll be paying similar prices as the Japanese do for their Kobe Beef.

If we add in a few vegan / vegetarian meals a week it will make a difference. I’ll be scouring the interweb looking for some good tips on how to do this without sacrificing taste, or killing the weekly food budget.

In the mean time, I found this great book by Alicia Silverstone, who’s been an green, vegan activist for years now. In the book she explains how to dip your toes in the water and start substituting to help yourself and the 3rd rock from the sun.

Enjoy.
