slowly

I didn’t do it all at once, just chipped away at it. And not really as a lifestyle choice, just found my eating habits drifting away from industrial food. A bit of land and a fishing boat does help, but it’s not that difficult.

I love cooking and I get a lot of pleasure from using the best tastiest ingredients. My conversion started when I found my self using fewer ingredients, and at the same time getting hooked on intense flavours. Less spices and complication more stocks and reductions.

Then it’s just little steps.

Building in the extra 15 minutes it takes to prepare from scratch into the evening routine. You can keep chickens in all but the smallest garden. Make your own bread 2-3 times a week. Eat a little more seasonally.

Have some porridge instead of crunchy nut cornflakes
Eat plenty of sea food, game, organic small farm produce.
Get yourself armed and local farmers will often be happy for you to clear rabbits and pigeons from land, if you don’t fancy bunny murder they can be bought cheaply.

Grow your own veg, but again start small and join up with other growers to share the inevitable big gluts.

So it's not an ideal solution if you live in a town centre flat, in a mostly industrial region.
