Me too, food is my indulgence. We sometimes buy a bottle of beer each, £2, so we'd only have to do that 4 nights a week & blow our entire meat budget, plus a bit more!
ETA - not that it is an indulgnce, really, the money goes back to be reinvested in the future of food production, it's entirely justified and necessary - it's actually more of an indulgnce to buy cheap, crap food that does damage the environment, health and people's lives. |

It is hard to gauge though - i spend about £50 a month at the farmers market, and the same for beef at the farm shop down the lane, add in bacon from an evil supermarket most weeks and ginormous lumps of mince for batch cooks every few moths and it's probably nearer £30 for three of us. We do eat more high quality cuts than we used to, because of time restrictions, so that has increased the bill a bit. |
I have a theory that a person's "Carbon Footprint" is roughly proportional to the amount they earn. Hence, spending money on meat rather than a holiday is a carbon neutral (ish) decision. Similarly, its no use being saintly in the Vegetarian:Omnivore debate if you pop off to the Seychelles for your holiday. |
