    'Help! My girlfriend has turned into a fanatical vegan'

    “ Dear Richard

    My girlfriend has giving up eating meat for January, and has embraced her new diet with a martyr’s zeal. She now refuses to cook meat, and insists we have no fish, meat, eggs or dairy in the fridge.

    I’m working my way through the few frozen steaks and chilli con carnes in the freezer. But she is insisting that I eat these alone, then scrub the kitchen surfaces down – and sleep in the single bed afterwards. Once those run out, it’ll be beetroot and tofu all the way.

    I’m not sure I can live like this. How can we find a middle ground? Is it crazy to admit that sometimes I’ve been left so bereft I have to order a Deliveroo and lurk outside in the garden, eating on my own?”

      Just get up early and cook some bacon for breakfast. She'll soon crack.

        Let her get on with it as in 6 months she will be anaemic.

          One of the comments there -

          “ Go down to the nearest testicle shop and buy a pair.”

              He will be fine with his bacon breakfasts and secret meat eating.

                  Spinach and other dark greens are good for keeping one's iron up.

                  It's the B12 she may end up lacking in over time if not careful. I can't remember what the non animal source for that is.
