  • Developing world doesent consume as much meat as the developed world so 'just go vegan' is a privileged position to be in.

    Kinda like saying 'do what you love'.

    Anyway, will there be any genuine responsible meat eating discussion happening or just shouting MURDERER at a meat eater in here?

  • Started off quite civilized and informative?

    Just to throw my hat inΒ β€”Β me and the Mrs have been trying to eat less, but better quality meat. All well and good, and actually having a good time working out what works for me habitually. Growing up outside of London we had a local butcher, knew folk involved with pheasant shooting and I was a groundskeeper on an estate where they shot deer to control population. One of the things I really miss is the communal, ritualistic and altogether more thoughtful relationship you have with your meat (goes for veggies too). Always good to know your butcher / beater.

    Have not tried direct / mail order yet, but have been looking at farms / suppliers recently as frustratingly the majority of local butchers in our area are now either boutique (£££), or import their meat (£). I suppose the middle ground (££) is in competition with supermarkets which probably isn't conducive to rising rent.

    Maybe we should start a resource (in OP's post?) for good (local) butchers and mail order places ...
