I've spent the morning looking for organic vegetable delivery schemes. We used to have a box of organic veggies delivered every week and I'd like to get back to it. The more I think about 'green issues' the more I feel that I have to take some responsibility for how much we take from this planet. It's so easy to go to Tesco's but it's not really the healthiest option. I'm leaning more and more towards simple meals with seasonal vegetables and I'd like to know that the food is sourced as locally as possible. Plus there's the meat side of things. I've toyed with the idea of becoming vegetarian for ages and whilst I could, my other half certainly can't. Too many food allergies mean that there's no way to survive on veggies alone. It still leaves me with the worry about what's going into the meat though so organic again seems to be the way forward.
Having done some basic research I'm starting to think that it would actually be easier to join a 'box scheme' and order on line. It would fit in better with my lifestyle and free up more time usually spent getting stressed in the supermarket. It seems that you can buy just about anything off the internet anyhow. Definitely something to think about further and discuss with the other half.
I was reading a blog the other day that said for every litre of Coke produced, it takes 250 litres of water. Seems a bit over the top, but that figure does include how much water is used to water the sugar crop. Even so...Coke is now off the list and I'm sure I'll be a lot healthier for it.
I'm also going to have to seriously think about growing salad crops for the bunnies. It'll be so much cheaper and if I'm going to buy more expensive food for us, then bunnies will have to have home grown. I don't have enough garden to grow veg for us but I should be able to keep the bunnies going, in summer at least.

Interesting about the Coke, one to bear in mind, although as a Irishman on the dry, it's one of life's remaining pleasures. I am a veggie though, as is my wife. Occasional fish eater, but only when the veggie menu is bad whilst eating out.
I do most of the cooking at home, so a good tip for your hubby's conversion would be to cook veggie meals that he doesn't realize are actually veggie,ie Grilled/baked veggies with pasta mediterian style, vegetable korma, chili bean burritos, lentil curry soup, pizza,
of course not everyday, but a couple of times a week maybe?! Just don't mention the word 'vegetarian' whatever you do! Good luck with the blogging.
