The roast Christmas dinner is a valued tradition for many families in the UK and across the globe.
The health implications and environmental impacts of our diet have now become a regular discussion topic, with sustainable dietary advice recommending that we reduce meat consumption and increase the amount of plant-based proteins, fruits and vegetables we eat.
But what does this practically mean at Christmas? And how can we make our Christmas dinner more sustainable? Here are some tips to help you reduce the environmental impact of your Christmas feast.
tl;dr; eat turkey, cook it with sous vide, nuke the potatoes and veggies, eat what you take. Thank goodness no more recommendations to eat insects; they must have finally conceded that dog won't hunt...

Okay, vegetables make you fart. Farts contain methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas. The only green option is to not eat vegetables. Eat other animals instead. When you eat other animals, herbivores especially, you have caused an end to all their future flatulence and thus reduced net carbon emissions.

I think it's just the ladies. Mine does have a heavy dose of methane in them.
