The Food Debate

 Food is a popular topic at the moment - with obesity on the rise, we are warned that an unbalanced diet can lead to health issues and even lower overall happiness and impact mental health. Whilst it's true that eating healthily is important, we don't believe that you have to take it too seriously - you can still have treats whilst being good to your body. That said, we regularly have debates about diet, and discuss this so often we thought we should probably blog about it. These are just some of the topics we have regular chats about:

1.  Vegan vs Veggie - Ethics, Impact on Health
   
2.  Veggie vs Meat - Pros and cons
3.  Veggie Meat - Why the taste is so important
4.  Religion and Diet - Are methods of killing animals really unethical?
5.  Ethical Killing - Is It Ever Truly Cruelty-Free?
6.  Population - Effect on Food Demand
7.  Wasting Food - The Western World and hunter-gathering
8.  Importing - A good thing, or not so much?
9.  Ethics of Imported Meat - Animal rights law in different countries
10.  Trying to go Veggie - How, why and when to try
11.  Trying to go Vegan  - How, why and when to try
12.  Health Pros and Cons to Diet (meat/veggie/vegan)
13.  Foods to Avoid Whilst Pregnant - The toughies of the challege
14.  Pregnancy and Meat - Do you need to stop being Vegan/Veggie?
15.  Kids and Meat - To Veggie or Not to Veggie?

Keep an eye out for these topics soon to be covered - we will try to do one a day, each will have its own post and we will give both sides to the argument, including our views and sources to back them up. Read on for more soon to come...
