There's a lot of chat around plant based and meat free and veganism these days. Whether its a fad or a long term thing, whose embracing it, whose not, what it means for New Zealanders, for farmers, and so on.

We seem to be dedicating a lot of column inches to how we eat, what we eat, why we eat, what we shouldnt eat.

And while Im a big fan of food fads and trying new things and evolving with food based patterns, I do wonder if we all just need to,in the words of Taylor Swift, calm down.

Does it really matter if youre doing meat-free Mondays and Im not?

Does it matter if youre vegan and Im not?

Does it matter if youre dairy and gluten free and Im not?

To me it feels like the crossfit trend, those that are doing it, have to talk about it a lot.

And they can get a wee bit judgey if youre not doing it too.

The famous meme if youre a vegan and you dont tell anyone, are you still a vegan.. rings true.

I get the share the philosophy thing, I get the health benefits youre enjoying and want to shout from the rooftops, but an all kale and spinach diet may just not be for everyone.

Shopping organic and free range at farmers markets may not be an option for everyone.

And it doesnt mean those people arent interested in saving the planet or care about the environment, it just means were all different and were allowed to do our own thing.

Not everything has to be a movement.

For the record, I am majority plant based by choice, but I do eat meat, just not that often by preference.

I learned early on that not many people want to hear about what youre eating.

I recall trying to tell my parents one day about the merits of eating raw and plant based and their eyes glazed over and my Dad interrupted me and said oh nooooooo, not a lettuce leaf lecture, no, boring, we get it, you like salad, yawn..

Hes right of course. Inflicting your weird food preferences on others should be reserved for the handful of people whore actually interested and outright ask you what you eat. Which is not many.

But I raise this because I see the huge pressure and confusion around food, kids dont know what to eat anymore, theres a lot of second guessing. Is this good for me? Is it bad?

I cant help thinking our grandmothers were probably onto something when they said everything in moderation.
