I'm not a diehard vegetarian, but I am of the opinion that an enormous amount of resources are wasted in the meat industry. Like how one kilo of beef (2.2lbs) requires 15,000 liter (4,000 gallons) to make.

So I try to do my part and reduce my meat intake, while also being a frugal student, which means either using the above because it's cheaper or just adding more vegetables to a meal and leaving meat out. I still eat a lot of meat though.

My supermarket recently replaced all their cheap, unethical chicken products with a 'New Standard Chicken', making more space for chickens and slower growth rates mandatory. I think that's a great idea, but I'm more excited for the day when meat replacements are just as good and cheaper than regular meat.
