Reply to comment by wetcalzones in [OC] There are more self-described vegans than vegetarians among US users of Twitter by jasonjonesresearch
My university lecturer called something similar an "environmental diet" and it swayed most of the class!
I haven't 100% dropped anything, but it's extremely rare I have red meat and won't have lamb or pork. I have a "reduced meat" diet that's mostly chicken, and have started growing my own veggies and seasonings in my own garden. I also cut down on heavy rainforest killers like most chocolates and coffee, and "attempt" to cut down on palm oil products (that shit is EVERYWHERE).
There's no way of easily explaining it to most people tho, so I'm just an average carnivorous gal.

I don't have kids so it's irrelevant to me, but 2 hours a day doesn't seem like much at all? Maybe I'm mad.
I remember growing up watching a ~20min episode of a cartoon in the morning eating breakfast, then would continue watching 2-3 episodes of whatever was on cartoon network with my brother when we got home from school while mum cooked dinner and washed lunch boxes etc. I'd already be on ~1.5 hours from that alone.
Sometimes after dinner we'd all watch a movie together like Disney, or a few eps of the discovery channel (whole fam was obsessed with crocodile hunter growing up). I will say it wasn't every day - sometimes we played outside on the trampoline, or played with lego etc. But 2 hours across a whole day I guess doesn't feel like much to me!
