Re-instating Meatless Monday

Last week we had Minging Monday, this week we're trying something else.

Before I had to make radical changes to my diet earlier this year, we used to have Meatless Monday in an attempt to save the world in other ways than just using solar power and cycling a lot. But then things got tricky when I couldn't work out what I could eat and meat became a safe constant that didn't have me waking up unable to breath in the middle of the night or cover my legs with big itching blisters or make my nose bleed for days on end. Call me selfish but right then I didn't give much of a stuff about my ecological footprint, I was just hungry. Which is a pretty good insight into the situation of a helluva lot of people in this world.
But now I am feeling comfy with my new diet and know that I'm not going to starve to death I also feel comfortable enough to take on my comfy, middle-class stance on meat-eating again. So, to certain people's horror, we eat vegan food for tea on Mondays. Those certain people had quite liked the less veg/more meat thing - she might only be 8 but she knows what she likes....however, it was all saved with ketchup. Even vegan food is good if you smother it in enough red.
