Although I frequently eat vegetarian food, I've never been a vegetarian before. I'm conscious that it's a better decision for the environment, so it was something I was interested in experimenting with - thus one of my goals was to go vegetarian for a month. My husband did it with me, as it also aligned with his views.



I found it to be harder than I expected. The main problem was with work lunches. Buying vegetarian groceries for myself was easy, but when I had to go out for lunch at cafes, my options were severely limited. I discovered that most cafes typically had only one token savoury vegetarian course on the menu, or cake. During the vegetarian month, I found myself having to change my behaviour to repeatedly visit the same cafes far more than I would normally. Thankfully, I worked in an area that had a wide variety of places to choose from, or it would have been even harder.



We did have to restart once - we got through almost two weeks the first time, but then found ourselves at an event where our only choices were eating meat or not eating at all - so we agreed to eat meat that one time and then start a new month of vegetarianism from scratch. So in total, we were vegetarian for almost 6 weeks (with a tiny gap in the middle). (less) (less)
