I was just reading that meat and dairy production accounts for 14.5 % of all the greenhouse gases produced -> that's as much as produced from all the cars, trucks , airplanes and ships combined! ...I love my meat but try to limit my intake to 2 -3 times a week.... gonna have to be more creative with mealtime this year I think. For example , love my Bean salads,..that's one way for me to get more protein from non meat sources ...what about you??

We have cut down on meat a lot and switched over to tofu. We are going to be looking more into other plant-based meats.

@Luap1050 We like to cook it in our air fryer, sauteed it with bbq sauce or whatever other condiments. One of my favorites is putting it in with a stir fry. Heck we ever use it hamburger helper instead of using hamburger. There is so much one can do with tofu, it is just the matter of trying.

Funny you mention Tofu...I haven't had it for years but willing to take a stab at it again . I recall it takes on the flavor of whats around it so i will have to experiment...any ideas Felicia?

I never thought about it. I like my meat, though I don't eat a lot of it in a week, maybe two or three times a week.

I eat quite a lot of meat, but not every day. I make a lot of egg dishes.

It used to be we were told eggs were bad for dietary cholesterol ...but that's false...it doesn't raise it significantly...I try to eat at least 6 days a week , and am thinking of more instead of meat

That’s exactly the reason why my son is a vegetarian. He’s almost a vegan, but can’t give up cheese on his pizza. We cut back on red meat, and try to have at least one meatless meal a week. I know we can do better.
