Luis! Ditch the Meat and Go Green

Dear Luis,

We were a little disappointed to see that you had failed to heed the (alarmingly prescient) advice we sent your way last year. Although fans of what you get up to with a football, we have a few concerns about your appetite. After all, we already eat too much bloody meat.

If only he’d listened…

Our desire to see a reduction in meat consumption extends to the tender shoulders of Italian footballers flown halfway round the world. 

However, we are just as saddened by you and your teammate’s predilection for a meaty barbecue. Tasty, maybe; environmentally conscious, definitely not. Give the meat a miss! 

Think of the air miles!

To help you on your way we’ve taken the liberty of attaching links to some tasty Uruguayan vegetarian recipes.

Why not try a delicious Poronto Bean salad? The humble bean enhanced by a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of red wine vinegar and a healthy sprinkling of oregano.

Or bite into a deeply satisfying Torta Pascualina? Garlic, nutmeg, and ricotta combine deliciously.

Whatever you go for, please, next time you’re hungry, head to the cornershop not the nearest Italian.  

All the best,

Do The Green Thing
