Interesting new study from a legitimate, peer-reviewed academic publication. The author, Dr Chris Macdonald, is affiliated with Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, and founded the Better Protein Institute.

The study compares various protein sources and scores them according to

* Environmental factors: greenhouse-gas emissions, land use, freshwater use and water pollution/eutrophication.
* Health factors: saturated fat, sodium, cholesterol and whether the food was deemed a “complete protein.”
* Accessibility: price at Aldi and whether the food was available in a UK supermarket.

Guess which one scored highest?
Guess which one scored lowest?

I’ll give the answer in the comments!

I’ll be at the National Animal Rights March on Saturday carrying this banner. If you’re free please join us - we need the world to see the number of people that want to end animal exploitation. National Animal Rights March UK Viva! Vegan Charity

There will be amazing musicians, speakers, face painting, book swap… a very dear friend (Tammy Travels ) once told me that when you feel overwhelmed or in despair about the enormity of unnecessary animal suffering on the planet, the best thing you can do is to get active.

If you haven’t done activism before, the March is a great place to start!

Being vegan in Croatia is completely manageable. It’s not as easy as some other countries, and walking round the touristy old towns with endless packed restaurants serving vast quantities of meat, fish, dairy and eggs can feel a bit depressing… but in amongst those places are some fully vegan gems.

We went to Dubrovnik - recommend Soul Kitchen (not vegan but good options), Urban & Veggie near the ferry port for incredible tofish - fully vegan.

We spent a few days Korcula - no vegan restaurants here, but I recommend Silk for excellent vegan options and a sublime view - we went here twice.

We finished in Split - recommend BARAKOKULA (fully vegan) for delicious food and hearty portions!
