Challenge Update
I have not been neglecting the challenge, just a bit time poor at the moment. So a quick update on how its going…
Challenge #1: I have been researching beef for my next post so expect some information on grain fed vs grass fed, feedlots, methane and wagyu. I have also found that KR Castlemaine produce bred free range ham and bred free range bacon. Have a look at their website for more information. On a daily basis, I haven’t found it too hard to adapt to a mostly vegetarian/seafood diet and ‘ethical’ meat at home. It helps that it hasn’t been too huge a lifestyle change for me as most of our food is prepared at home and when we’ve been out, I’ve stuck to vegetarian or seafood options with surprising ease. J did try to ask at our local Thai where the chicken came from to confused looks. Again, it helps that we are also trying to stick to a budget so meals out are more occasional.
Challenge #2: I eat a crapload of processed food. Everything is bloody processed. Who was I kidding? So instead of focusing on the spectrum, for the last week I have cut out diet coke. So far, so good. I know it is a highly processed product; devoid of calories and also devoid of any nutritional benefit, but when you’re trying to balance ethical scales of meat, stick to 1200 calories, study, work and generally get on with it - diet coke seemed a small vice. I haven’t noticed any significant side effects for the better or worse.
And that’s it. I have successfully diverted 11 minutes of my time away from my textbook.
