I am not a vegetarian. I don't eat particularly badly, but I am not even close to a role model. The ethical arguments (Factory Farming) and existential arguments (Climate Change) for reduced meat consumption are slam dunks, but every time I make a concerted effort, it changes the relationship I have with food. I am not an excessive eater, and do enough exercise, so food simply becomes a big source of enjoyment. Comfort food. Cultural food. Food that keeps us connected. Like I believe investing is a team sport, I think the same is true of diet. It's much easier if we eat better together, and it isn't that relevant if any particular individual is reducing their meat consumption, if they get swamped by others eating up the left-overs.
