Thanks for taking time out to reply! I'm almost vegetarian, I don't even like fish and seafood so that wouldn't be a problem! But the dairy........I think that I need to try further milk alternatives , or maybe compromise and keep a pet cow and some chickens. I do have experience as my grandparents were farmers. The food growing and 'homesteading' as I think its called in the US is the big appeal, I had an allotment in UK for many years, and now living in Thailand I'd have to learn a whole new way to garden in the tropics !....more study, reading and thinking. Step by step!
Thanks again mate and all the best.
