Hi, I've been veggie for over two decades and never regretted it. My alternative to meatfreemonday is vegan weekdays. I try to be completely vegan from sunday evening through to friday evening. To anyone trying to be veggie for the first time I'd say first off do a bit of homework, find out as much as you can about nutrition and learn to cook if you don't already. It's very easy to be veggie in the UK these days as you have so many alternatives, but where I live in the south of Italy, it's still considered strange and even unhealthy. There is a lot of hostility among the older generation and even young people often think that veggie means 'no red meat' and are confused when I say I eat no fish, chicken, pork, lamb etc. There's also the fear that I might be an animal rights extremist or worse.....

I'm not a veggie I just love food. I do try to eat as much veggie meals as possible it's not meat that I disagree with eating it's the intensive factory farming for maximum profit methods that I find disgusting and barbaric and a breeding ground for many 'Factory Farm Flue' diseases. Intensive farming should be outlawed on health, moral and plain economic grounds. I don't want cheap food I want good food.
