I have been both a meat-eater and vegetarian at different times in my life. I've lived on only soy products for several weeks and I’ve eaten ten hot dogs in half an hour at a hot dog eating competition. The problem and the war between animal lovers and fans of meat is that it's always all or nothing. Vegetarians want everyone to be vegetarians and meat-eaters refuse to become full-time vegetarians. Being the diplomat that I am, I arrived at the perfect solution: If you are meat eaters, have one vegetarian day a week.
It doesn’t have to be at all dramatic. There are thousands of vegetarian recipes. And by eating vegetarian one day out of seven you’ll help make the planet a better place, not only for animals but also for the environment. If every person in Sweden would start eating vegetarian one day a week, that’d be 52 days per year. 9 million times 52 is an incredibly significant difference. I can’t do math, but you know what I mean.
1. Decide on one day a week when you’ll eat vegetarian food all day.
2. Google good recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.
3. Do it.
Required time:
1 week or more
Cons:
There is a shift in attitude required to do it and it requires a little discipline, but frankly, my friend, just pull yourself together and do it. That’s the least you can do.
Pros:
You make a difference for the planet and help in the climate fight.
