[...] History, I think, will look back at the early 21st century as an important period in our developing attitude about greenhouse gases and global warming — and about how far we were willing to go to change our habits. The fact is, there are many powerful forces, with seriously vested interests, who don’t want us to face facts about meat eating and its harmful effects on health and environment. [...]

Keep it up Tim! I've been restricting my red meat intake for years. You can easily get it down to once a month or less. Soon, you won't even miss it! And, that steak on your birthday or ribs at a friend's bbq will taste that much sweeter.

I'm hoping I can skip a few days in a row in order to have one gorge BBQ day a week. Does it work that way?

There are things you can do to mitigate the negative health effects of eating red meat. That doesn't really apply to smoking. Furthermore, red meat in moderation is fine. There's no such thing as moderating your smoking to healthy levels (at least not according to my respiratory specialist). And eating red meat doesn't cause health problems for the f**king vegan next to you (though wouldn't it be great if it *could*??). It sucks - one of the greatest pleasures of my life was smoking a cigarette, drinking a dbl gin/tonic, whilst tending to a two inch porterhouse on a charcoal grill. All the above are now a threat to my health. *sigh* Will I quit eating red meat - hell, no! But I will eat it less. When I do, it'll be REALLY good stuff. And I'll pay extra to get it from the local guys who assure me the environmental impacts are minimal. Is that enough to assuage my guilt? I hope so!!

Good luck with that Bro. The quality of beef and pork products is climbing quickly and it keeps pulling me back. I've got pancetta and bresola hanging in my garage now.
