A night out. A real night out
With a group of friends!
Ok, no handshakes, but also no masks, and no social distancing.
Outside of course, in the never endingly cold winter of 2020/21, but hey it was like the Old Days.
I looked at the menu, and it all looked lovely. I thought it was because I’d not seen a menu for a year… but actually no it wasn’t that at all. After about 5 minutes I realised that it was because it had ‘ normal’ food , rather than the plant based diet that I’ve eaten for 6 months.
Well you can’t just totally ‘ uncondition ‘ yourself can you? I mean you still have the bodily and mental reflexes that eating a certain diet induces.
So I almost ordered fish and chips… until I remembered that that was my past, not my future. Of course fish and chips tastes lovely, certainly better than tofu with salad… 🤦♂️ but hey it would be definitely far less environmentally impactful if far more people made the decision to shift to mainly plant eating.
I can’t change the world, but I can make my own contribution, and encouraging you to shift a bit/ a bit more/ a lot more, so that our descendants aren’t living in a dead and poisoned galactic rock, with only video footage of David Attenborough talking about long extinct animals, fish and birds.
Just great to be out in company, Wales open up outside for food drinks and gym class when dry was fab to do spin class out in the fresh air at Pontypool Park, full class soon we all warmed up and fleece came off. Have, nt had any food out yet Russ but pouring with cold rain today Wednesday so rain stop play, but I have champagne to drink. Xxxx
I’ve been vegetarian since I was 12 – because I cared about animals as sentient beings and the way they were treated was an anathema to me … but I never talked about it because people took the piss out of me – NOW however – it seems to be SUPER fashionable ! So that’s a good thing ! Whether It’s because they care about the planet and the proportion of gas emitting mammals consuming the planet et cetera et cetera doesn’t really matter to me – if I can help one animal that doesn’t have to feel terrified that’s all I care about… sorry – but there it is –
