This is a great get-together. Hugh is very popular in the UK, but as Chang said... I had to torrent River Cottage. There was no other way! The whole series is actually quite comforting. Hugh is very well spoken, and comes off as very sweet and kind hearted. I live in Washington state but so much of the vistas in the show were so remenicent.... I get really nostalgic whenever I see any of the River Cottage footage and I never even lived it!
In right circumstances you don't need meat at all - there are a lot of protein source like beans, chickpeas, lentil, peas, sweet potatoes etc but... meat is a pleasure.It is a substitute for a lack of sensibility holding us to enjoy life - simple things in life.If you can't enjoy a sunset anymore, or just a blue sky or a rain, or just a tree you will try to jump from the plain with parachute just to feel something.I think the same is with meat - it depends on how everyone of us experience life, i think if our level of awareness increase meat will be to much for us - we will not need it anymore.You are helping that individual awareness to grow - you are seeding our inner conscience.Is very important what you doing.
'Not knowing how to cook' stikes me as originating largely as a social issue: it was 'women's work' - and women who worked hard to expand the limits of what society would allow them to do may have lacked the time & energy to cook, too. On a deeper psycological level, they - and those around them - may have seen cooking as step backward. Why do we celebrate the Wall-Streeters who play havoc with our money & economy, but look down on the farmer and the 'housewife' - the very foundation of our society? (Not the government!)
Good to keep in mind: NO natural eco-system is devoid of animals. If we want to keep the planet healthy (the planet that supports our lives with things like maintaining the atmosphere, the very air that we all breathe), producing our food in systems that mimic natural eco-systems is the only sustainable way to go. Farming by working with nature, (instead of trying to beat it into submission with destructive plowing/tillage that kills soil life & releases carbon into the air; poisoning air, soil, water, and our own plant and animal food, etc) can yeild abundance of food AND help restore the planet. Search Regen Ag and Mark Shepard or Polyface for more info.
Hugh is very incorrect about Kangaroo meat in Australia.
It is revered by chefs and often used in restaurants at a good price
Consumers can by marinated Kangaroo steaks and they are delicious cooked medium rare.

So much of the food production industry makes absolutely no sense. Sustainability, based on compassion and common sense is key. #BuyLocal
Why would any parent rely on someone else to take responsibility for their own children? Anyone who can read can buy, or borrow from the library, a good basic cookbook that includes basic food preparation and cooking techniques. If a mistake is made, the food is burned or otherwise a failure, the chickens and the pig will eat it. Or at least the worms in the worm bin.
