...surprising, isn't it?
The "moral eater" faces a series of puzzles. "Eat oily fish," is the government's health advice, but if all of us did so the stocks of oily fish would be even more imperilled. "Eat more fruit," is another instruction, though unseasonal fruit often depends on aviation fuel to reach us.Perhaps you should just stop granting the government the power to tell you what you should eat?
A diet that could reconcile the competing needs of carbon reduction, social equity, biodiversity and personal nutrition would probably consist of field-grown vegetables that have been harvested locally by well-paid labour: the diet of the £5 turnip.It worked for the Soviet Union. Until, well, fairly obviously, it didn't...
Nonetheless, my resolution this year is to become a vegetarian.Good! More meat for me...

That is not surprising, he is one of the 'greens' after all, which means that he doesn't know this dreaded carbon (CO2) that they all fear is in fact an excellent plant food and more of it (up to a certain point that we are not likely to reach in a long time) just means more food.
" Good! More meat for me..."
Golly. Five choice words to inspissate enthusiasm for decent argument, Julia.
The simple solution for him, and anyone like-minded, is to stop eating all together.
That's more than one problem solved.
A Guardian columnist trumpeting his self-declared moral virtue. Surely not...
I was a Vegan, a 'proper' veggie, for MORAL reasons...all the hot girls were vegans and I wanted to get laid.
But other than that I can't see how he can equate 'moral eating' with vegetarialism. There is nothing inherently 'good' about not eating meat infact one might argue that defying nature and evolution (check out our teeth Bud, we're omnivours)is by definition BAD. Like those vegans who go on about how 'healthy' and 'wholesome' their diet is and then have to take vitamin supplements.

and on the other end of the *cough*moral*cough* see-saw we have....(No not " a big fat fucking retarded fucking black girl" )?
...BACON! [/internal debate]
