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...

    We do Christmas pizza. Baked at home starting with flatbread and toppings. Each his own pizza.

    How does that rate on the energy scale?

    Also, baking here doesn't cost extra energy -- It's freezing outside and the oven and the apartment heating are both electrical. So if the oven leaks heat, the apartment heating just turns off for a while to maintain comfort. And after baking, we leave the oven closed, so it leaks heat slowly. We don't get a huge heat spike that might cause extra heat to leave the apartment.

    Anybody have a better analysis of this?
