Create your food dream! That's a hard one. I love food and creating in the kitchen, but I don't think I have a food dream 🤔
... apart for eating what i want and not putting on weight!

Same! I LOVE good food but that's as far as my dream goes...except maybe if I could employ a chef for a few days a week.
 
I don't like Josh. Anyone who can raise and nurture animals and then slaughter them, I don't understand or want to know.

Graziers are a different breed to you and me Feb. Strangely enough, they do care for their stock but at the end of the day it's their livelihood.

As you know, I do eat some meat but not a lot these days. I've always had an opposition to where meat comes from and preferred to think it grew on styrene trays in supermarket fridges. I'm a bit into some plant based 'meats' these days but still eat the 'real' thing at times.

I understand. It's my own thing. apparently I had issues with it as a young child seeing pig carcasses being shouldered into butchers shops, so my mum told me later in life when I stopped eating meat.
I've never put it on anyone else, but for someone who wants to take all the animals home from the welfare shelter, zoo etc, I find it difficult understanding meat farmers who claim to love their animals. I know they're not pets ... but ... huge sigh!
I feel awful that I ddon't feel the same way about fish. I couldnt kill one myself though, let along gut and scale one.
Fish, unlike sea mammals have thousands of fry and they all eat each other.
A sick world in that respect.
And then they tell you plants have feelings, so basically, we're fucked! 😳

It's not just you Feb plenty of people agree with you including myself. I find it very difficult to reconcile myself to my carnivorous habits and my love for animals...and also my husband was a grazier for many, many years. How awful is that? BUT he and his family always looked after their animals until it was time they went to market. My s-i-l tells a funny story...their stock-agent told her that they weren't going to market but they were going to another farm and were going to drink strawberry milkshakes! I might add that this was relatively recently and she is in her sixties!

I seem to remember we've had this conversation before. After a client of mine told me how much his mum loved her cattle, and i said, and then she sent them off to the slaughter house.
Okay. Let's leave it there 🥂❤🥂
