For my challenge I have chosen to become a vegetarian. Throughout the next 30 days I hope to achieve a deeper understanding as to why vegetarianism is not only beneficial to the planet but also to our health.
Living at home and sharing most of my meals with my family who are not undergoing this challenge is going to be my biggest obstacle, although today I joined them for dinner and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of vegetarian/vegan options on the menu, from tofu to nut roast. I have already begun to look forward to the meals I will be making for myself over the next month and hopefully I can persuade my family to change their habits and cut down on their daily meat intake.
Best of luck to everyone with their own challenge and feel free to share any vegetarian friendly recipes with me!
Hi Ella, Welcome to Ripples of Change. It’s Leonie in the cCHANGE team here. My colleague Heidi and I are going to be following your challenge over the next 30 days and will support you, and hopefully offer you some new perspectives. You have chosen a great challenge, and already you have begun to identify the practical and cultural aspects that may help or hinder you. Food is a really interesting issue, there are so many dimensions to it. Have you begun planning out your meals? Will you cook or will someone cook for you? How many times a week ca. do your family eat meat now? It will be interesting to see if they shifts their patterns a little. I really look forward to reading your updates. All the very best, Leonie :) Respond
