A new blogger on the block

My girlfriend Nat has just started a blog. It's about being a vegan in Bristol and her experiences of eating out. She spent a couple of hours yesterday getting it together - I hope she finds the time to keep it going.

I'm not a vegan myself (or even vegetarian), but thanks to Nat, I probably eat vegan twice a week or more. I always makes me laugh/cringe when meat-eaters say things like "it's not a proper meal". This is so plainly rubbish, even if veganism makes things a little more tricky from time to time. Nat's just got back from the shops triumphantly clutching vegan burgers and sausages!

I certainly eat a lot less meat than I used, which is probably good for my health and the planet. It a really good example of somewhere where small changes in behaviour can have a positive impact, without taking a massive leap into the unknown. I don't think I could ever give up meat or animal products (no cheese - argh!!) myself, but I can certainly eat less and care more about where it comes from.
