Guardian Op-Ed: My beef isn't with beef: why I stopped being a vegetarian

"Every meal you eat that supports a sustainable farm changes the agricultural world. I cannot possibly stress this enough. Your fork is your ballot, and when you vote to eat a steak or leg of lamb purchased from a small farmer you are showing the industrial system you are actively opting out. You are showing them you are willing to sacrifice more of your paycheck to dine with dignity."

  1. Don't get that choice in Singapore and I doubt whether any of the meat sold here is from small farmers.
    Saw eggs from free range hens for sale today though although to buy them I am certainly going to have to sacrifice more of my paycheck.
