For a long time we've had a lot of environmental problems stemming from how we cultivate food on our own shores. There's no denying that.
However, we're really ramping that up with the imported foods we're now eating. The irony here being that vegetarians and vegans, while promoting their diet as environmentally friendly, have also spearheaded the introduction of these new foodstuff's to our national cuisine.
I follow a plant based diet. I'll admit when I started i used to eat a lot of hipster junk, now we eat a lot of local (and homegrown, woo retired parents with an allotment!), seasonal stuff.
I also realise I am very fortunate to be in this position. Many are not.
