I would never be one of those people who scan every ingredient list to see if it has any Forbidden Ingredients or refuse a vegetarian item at a restaurant that had chicken broth. What I'd want to do is a casual attempt to find more good vegetarian recipes and work them into the schedule. We use a few from some good books by Mollie Katzen and a few other obvious things like beans and eggs. For vegetarian recipes, I favor ones that don't try to fake being a meat recipe, like a fake hamburger, as it just highlights the differences and tends to disappoint as it's not what you're used to.
What I've thought about is trying to keep it under 1 pound of meat in a week, nor more than half of which is red meat. Or 500 grams if you prefer, as it's an arbitrary number anyway. Eggs don't count as meat. If I go out to eat and get a 10 oz steak that blows the week, I'll shrug it off - it's big picture and trends over strict obedience to an arbitrary standard. Lecturing others is strictly forbidden.
Compared to strict vegetarianism, it allows things flavored with meat, like a couscous dish with half a pound of sausage that makes 5 servings. It's mainly about reducing the number of slabs of meat full of saturated fat. Also, reducing the environmental impact of beef production.Statistics: Posted by Stan — Fri Apr 14, 2017 11:30 am
