2009-02-03, meat-eater again, after 25 years
I consider vegetarianism (or “worse”) to be mostly a matter of fashion, and as already Oscar Wilde know, fashion is so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months
timesonline.co.uk suggests:
Being a non-meat eater had always made me feel special. [...] But here at almost fortysomething, on a French holiday with my husband, children and our friends all tucking into robust peasant food, I suddenly felt as pale and wan as the chickpeas on my plate. My old vim and vigour seemed to be missing. I was always hungry and, without a daily iron tablet, I felt tired and down in the dumps.
And so it goes…
The Food Standards Agency in Britain states that the number of people eating a partly or completely veggie diet fell from 9 per cent in 2007 to 7 per cent in 2008.
The article even gives advice “how to be a born-again carnivore”, and may be another strong indication that the peak of veggidom being fashionable has already past.
