So is being a vegan or vegetarian qualify as green dining? Or is this too literal?

I think that at the moment we overeat on meat causing overfarming, deforestation, etc. However, if the whole world suddenly would give up eating animals, we would equally create an imbalance. The key is, as usual, BALANCE. Me for instance, I eat meat or fish only 2 or 3 times per week. Afterwards, I don't even feel like it anymore. If everybody started to put a few vegan or vegi days into his diatary plan, we would already achieve a lot.

Well are you saying that being vegan or vegetarian is green dining not just because you're eating green leafy vegetables?

I was more thinking of the environmental impact of vegan and vegitarian dining. I think that at the moment people need to restrict their consumption of meat and fish because too much meet is produced and we are emptying our oceans. Somewhere there is the right balance. Many people eat meat every day and I think that is wrong and immoral.

I agree with Tecshift. And look what too much meat and all that has brought America. Too much obesity cases.
