yeah, I didn't set out to eat mostly vegetarian but since I am on my weight loss 'journey' and I can only have a low amount of fat grams a day I just found it easier to cook a lot more vegetarian meals. Plus, I just like veggies and there are so many to explore. This month seems to be all about different types of squashes for me. At the moment I have my lunch cooking in the oven..1/4 butternut squash, 1/4 harlequin squash and will put tiny bit of low fat marg on them and then steamed carrots and some mushrooms on the side. Nearly no fat but I will be so stuffed I won't be able to move.
I have insulin resistance issues and ever since finding that out I have been all about whole grains and 'whole foods' and I think it is that which is helping me feel better rather than just because I went mostly veggie.
On the local food thing, that is pretty much the big foodie issue in the UK 'food miles' as they call it here. It is harder to do when you live in London but even supermarkets are now launching ranges of milk where it comes from within such and such miles of the store..so local milk.
