    Red meat is likely to cause cancer it is also destroying the environment, requires massive subsidies, land and water to stay relatively low cost and the workers in meat processing plants are suffering relentlessly.

    I would instead suggest beans, lentils, tofu , tempeh or seitan.

      I say this with love: you will never persuade anyone by bringing it up this unprompted. I don’t eat meat myself and I can see that. I’m not sure what a good approach is, but this one puts people on the defensive and makes them entrench themselves out of spite.

      That said, if anyone wants a good lentil recipe, check out misir wot. It’s goddamn delicious, as confirmed by my very traditional meat-loving dad, and not difficult to make either
