Narrowly missed being flattened by @StagecoachSW bus driver at 8.14! I was partway down the narrow part of Exeter High Street (by mountain warehouse) when they decided to drive straight towards me, forcing me to slam on brakes and jump off leading to cuts and bruises.

Nice summary of environmental impacts of meat and the role of meat disgust in avoiding it
bbc.com
There are some surprising impacts of cutting out meat, even for a short period, which can carry on well beyond the end of abstinence.

Thanks @ObserverUK for featuring our research on how having a break from meat during @veganuary can help people see meat and themselves differently

Thanks to everyone who came to our recent event on #plantbased diets as part of the @ESRC Festival of Social Science - you can see how much crafty and foodie fun we had 🥦

Interesting but confusing evening listening to @michaelcaines @UniofExeter He preached plant-based eating and menus whilst praising (local regen) beef and lamb. Guess chefs (like many foodies) want to have their cake and eat it...

With @nationaltrust leading the way it's time @UniversitiesUK offer more plant-based catering for the benefit of people, planet and biodiversity. @Bryant_Research suggests huge savings in land, carbon, water and money if universities go more plant-based! https://t.co/LtwBPmycv2
‼️🌱 Plant-Based Councils campaigners are changing the world, and not just through council chambers 🌍 Last week, over 55,000 members of the National Trust voted in support of moving to 50% plant-based catering. 1/3

These events and petting farms perpetuate the "bucolic fairytales" @GeorgeMonbiot talks about. It would be nice if we were brave enough to really educate kids about the food system

Bucolic fairytales are a threat to life on Earth.

Just read about 1600 Devon school kids attending this week's farmwise event. I'm all for kids learning "how their food is produced" but sadly, for this to be genuine they'd need to feed half of those newly hatched fluffy chicks live into a macerator
devon.gov.uk
More than 1,600 primary school children from across Devon got ‘Farmwise’ on Tuesday and saw for themselves where our food comes from and how it’s made.
