Kochie you can avoid meat by having a vegetarian lasagne. I attended an advanced cooking school at hey South Australia Gas Co where I made a great lasagne with the green lasagne and made with red kidney beans that substituted for meat. It was delicious. It can be done.

I could do this but I have to ask...Why do celebrities think that their opinions matter so much? Why do they think they have a right to tell us how to live our lives whilst they jet set their way around the world??? Double standards! Really fed up of hearing about their opinions to be honest!

To the Sunrise team, To actualy save carbon emissions we should have NO SUNRISE Monday.
Turn your TV off at the wall, this will have a carbon saving and let the Sunrise team know what it is like to have their industry attacked in the name of a 70 year old rock star.
NO SUNRISE MONDAY.

Paul McCartney wants us to help the planet by not eating meat. As a farmer, I am not allowed to clear land to grow more cereal crops. The only alternative is livestock. Is this bad for the planet?

Yes it is bad for the planet! A report by the UN in 2006 said global meat production is the world's largest contributor to global warming....more than all the cars, trucks, planes & trains in the world COMBINED!!! 90% of the Amazon that's been cleared since 1970 is for global meat production!

I love having a couple of meat-free dinners each week because they feel lighter and healthier. Eg. I'll have a teriyaki stir fry with my fave vegies. Sometimes I'll include stir-fried tofu too (I like the Japanese one). Most importantly I chuck in fresh chilli, garlic and kaffir lime leaves. Yum!!!!

My husband loves his steak but we regularly have one to two red meat free days a week we have chicken or fish I tend to vegetarian food. Its easy.

I'd like to know more about how meat production affects the environment and what we should be doing. I'd be prepared to eat less meat if it helped. Mel and kochie tell us more! Tofu is awesome (when it's fried!)

To emsie 31 - go onto the Peta (people for the ethical trearment of animals) website....they have heaps of great stuff on there (some shocking!) & look in their vidoe archives of a video called "meats not green"....it's very interesting & opens your eyes to what humans are doing to this planet!
