Eat meat on feast days only

 

Summary:

According to a government adviser meat should only be eaten on feast days to fight obesity and climate change. Tim Lang, professor of food policy at the City University in London said meat consumption was out of control. He suggested that everyone should go back to ancient traditions where meat was considered a treat and eaten only on feast days, such as Christmas. Producing meat is a harmful process for the environment as growing animals requires energy and water. Lang thinks eating meat is only useful once a week and then have a really good, grass-fed meat.

 

My opinion:
I think it is a good idea to eat meat on feast days only to battle against obesity and climate change, but it is a bit unrealistic. Many people like to eat meat atleast three times a week. What professor Lang is saying is that these people need to change their eating habits. Most people will not accept this, they just want to eat whatever they want. Professor Lang will have to adjust his suggestion in my opinion, maybe change his idea of eating meat only on feast days to a maximum of twice a week.
