Re: Medit.-style eating
Hi Moira
No we do not have any strong feelings about meat or fish, only that we do
not approve of the intensive farming methods for meat or fish. Here we would
eat locally produced meat if we thought our stomachs would cope with it, but
after 25 years without I think it better to continue. the fish we eat is
locally caught and we trust it!

we have no time to stand and stare.
