Beswitched Vegans and Vegetarians feed children without giving them meat. if you reduce meat portions you up other foods with it. In our household I have always been an enthusiast for casseroles and stews where much of the substance comes from the cheaper cuts of meat and I simply put more vegetables, beans, etc etc in the casseroles to replace the meat.
I made this change back in the late 1980s at the start of the BSE crisis and when both children and DH were saying how unpleasant, fatty and gristly supermarket meat had become.
Halve the meat portions and if the meat cost twice as much, you are still not paying anymore per meal.
I do not quite understand why plant based versions of processed foods is cashing in. I am not talking about plants being turned into 'meat' without an animal in the process, but I buy plant-based sausages and burgers etc which are what they are without pretending to be meat, because I like them, the flavour etc.
I also buy meat based sausages and burgers, the plant based products aren't alternatives to meat, they are an expansion to the range of foods I eat, and as the buzz word goes, I am eating diversity
