Problem with being a veggie in a cold northern climate like the UK (or Iceland) is getting the right protein.
OK, there's soya, but how many rolling acres of soybean are there in the UK? They have to be shipped in from overseas, meaning the expenditure of non-renewable fossil fuels. Not to mention many of the other exotics that make up a balanced veggie diet. So Tim, lay off Wolfgang!
There's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian - but if claim to be one for ethical/moral reasons and you drink cows' milk, wear leather or wool or eat anything that needs to be imported then you're going to find it hard to avoid being called a hypocrite.
I'm happy eating meat, but would rather eat stuff I've shot/caught myself. If not, then I use an organic butcher. But I won't buy from supermarkets or high street chains, and neither should anyone who cares about the welfare of either the animals or the farmers.
Bloody hell, here's me, a meat-eater, sounding pious. sorry chaps!
