The butcher.

It’s become quite a ritual for us to stroll up the road to the butchers shop on Fridays. Their meat is amazing and, of course, we can always see exactly what we’re buying. Have you noticed how supermarkets often hide a gristly bit of meat under the label? You open the pack and groan…Not so if you’re choosing from an amazing display. It appears that meat consumption in this country has risen over the last few years and the number of vegan restaurants is declining as people lose their enthusiasm for plant based foods. Many of them are highly processed in order to create their flavour without a corresponding food value. We could always tell which children were from vegan families – their parents unwilling to accept that vital amino acids found in animal food sources are just that – vital. Growth and health can be compromised with many nutrients absent from the diet. “All things in moderation” is a great maxim, as well as “a little of what you fancy does you good” 😉 x
