I agree with you Ali. Hubby is veggie and I eat fish meat perhaps twice a month.
I eat fish as I have dyslexia, ADHD and am prone to itchy irritable skin... when I realised all of these were tied to lack of epa/dha or what ever I started to supplement and the change was to good to stop.
I just think of the oil involved in food production. Shipping and fertilizer.
Growing food locally helps the local economy reduces oil ect.
In the UK if enough people in the area ask for allotment space the local council has to provide it - we also have land share and conservation charity’s offering land for food to be grown.
While we are primarily veggie.... I do wonder at all the place the beans and pulses nuts seeds ect are shipped from.
I guess I'm so used to the idea of growing your own seasonal veg and keeping a few hens it was how I was brought up, my Dad was a fisherman.
I like the idea of taking reasonability for your own food and environment, composting our waste using every scrap and working with nature begging for manure
I guess I have a problem with the way food relies so heavily on oil.
