Plant-Diet Day

i've wanted to do this for some time and i'm glad to say that i finally did it yest. The intention is not religious, health or budgetary but environmental. i enjoy my meat tremendously but i've also realised that the increased demand on livestock globally is straining the planet. i quote from the ST on 25 Feb:
"...livestock accounts for 35-40 per cent of global emissions of methane, which is about 21 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. The damage does not end there: 65 per cent of global nitrous oxide emissions - the most lethal of the three greenhouse gases and 296 times more effective than carbon dioxide in trapping heat - comes from livestock..."
if one is willing to do more research, i'm sure there'll probably be more evidence.

Consequently, i've decided to pick one of the days in the week to have a meat/milk/eggs-free diet. This is not being vegan for the sake of the environment, this is to cut down on demand for livestock products for 'Consumer-led Environmental Change'! If we want to continue eating meat without killing the planet, we need to eat sustainably! Besides helping the environment, i'd wanted to see for myself how difficult and away from the mainstream this is. i'm happy to have completed my first Plant-Diet Day on 25 Feb 10!

This is what i ate:
- Bowl of instant noodles
- Slice of papaya
- Fried 'economical' kway teow with beancurd and springroll
- 2 slices of wholemeal bread
- Cup of M-sized Coke from Mac's
(yar i know it looks completely random right? haha.. )

This is what i'd wanted to eat/drink but couldn't:
- Kaya
- Milk Tea
- Yoghurt
