Obviously an Aubergine
Seems like a bit of a no brainer really. Meat production is wasteful of resources and a significant producer of greenhouse gas. Less meat production will tend towards better use of certain classes of land and reduced emissions (grow food for people, not for animals).
Add to that the fact that meat for every meal every day is a relatively recent phenomenon it would do no one any harm, nor cause any distress, to move in that direction.
But until the total costs are factored into the price there's unlikely to be much movement.
It's presented rather badly: Put as it is it's bound to be a splendid opportunity for people who love finding things that offend them to have a whinge about being preached at. But that misses the point rather.
I had black pudding for my tea last night. Just wanted to make sure that all of the piggies get used up.
Yes the idea of our eating meat everyday, or at every meal is a very recent idea.
Only made possible by industrialised agriculture, which clearly can't continue in its present form - there's plenty of evidence out there as to why this is the case.
Its not to say don't eat it all - just see it as the scarce and expensive resource that it is - appreciate what went into it.
Find out, and care about, how it was produced - thats not being an 'oddball' that's being an informed and engaged, grown-up human being.
But as you say some folks will maintain they are being 'preached at' when all you are doing is raising awareness.
In some cases - such as in cool temperate grasslands meat and milk are more easily produced on grazing where other crops don't grow.
I believe black pudding is very high in iron too.
It does makes sense that if something is going to die for our dinner, we should at least use all of it up.
