Have you watched Seaspiracy? ____ If like me you f Have you watched Seaspiracy? ____ If like me you feel overhwlemed, heartbroken and enraged but not sure where is a good place to start.... FOOD. ___ HOW TO MAKE CHANGE I don’t usually bang on about the ethics of why I make and eat plant based food but a lot of it is to show how blummin delicious plant based food can be.

There are so many companies that make really cracking meat alternatives if you miss that fix! Get experimenting & give them a try.

I’ve got a tonne of recipes on my website to get started. ___ LEGISLATION I’ve been doing a bit of reading and it seems marine biologists are shouting out for legislation to make positive change and FAST.
