LONDON, Ont. -- Andrew Campbell started the new year by sharing the day-to-day events on his Middlesex, Ont., dairy farm with his 13,000 followers on Twitter.

Then the hijackers moved in.

Outraged at Campbell's project to share the positive news from his agricultural operation and teach what life is like in agriculture, vegan groups from around the globe and individuals opposed to the livestock industry moved to swamp his tweets that used the hashtag #Farm365.

Along with tweets decrying the use of animals for food, there was a steady stream of photos of dead livestock and animals being put down.

In some postings, farmers were called murderers for sending animals to slaughter and rapists for having their livestock artificially inseminated.

Many suggested it was immoral for farmers to use "non-human animals."

Farmers and supporters of Campbell fired back on Twitter, defending agricultural practices and the compassion of producers.

Story highlights Diets can be hard, especially in the food industry A chef and 3 food writers describe making the shift from omnivores to vegetarians

As a cancer survivor, he tried all kinds of diets, but the calorie-counting and portion-control did not work for his busy lifestyle, he said.

By comparison, giving up all animal products was easy to understand: "There's no gray area."

Nudged on by his wife, he began experimenting with veganism in June 2014.

Diets can be hard, especially if eating is your livelihood. Surprisingly, perhaps, some in the food world have found the path of least resistance through cutting out meat and, in some cases, dairy and fish.

As their experience shows, changing up your regimen does not have to be an all or nothing proposition. But, if the best diet is the one you can stick to, making a lifestyle change that you believe in might be easier than cutting out one or two things at a time.

Making vegetables 'crave-able'

Vegetable cookery was familiar terrain to Hopkins, a James Beard award-winning Southern chef. Despite the region's reputation for BBQ and fried chicken, Southern food leans heavily on vegetables, even if they are often cooked in fatback or butter. The vegetable plate at his fine-dining eatery, Restaurant Eugene, consistently receives praise from vegetarians and was named one of the best in the South by Southern Living. It also can be prepared vegan upon request.

To eat vegan at home, the challenge was to create vegetable dishes free of animal fat or flavoring that were as "crave-able as BBQ," Hopkins said. As a chef, he was absolutely willing to take matters into his hands.

Instead of butter, he mastered vegetable stocks and glazes for roasting vegetables. He experimented with essential oils of nuts to bring out flavor in sauted vegetables.

Sometimes, more than anything, you need something easy. Easy to make, easy to eat. Maybe its because youre exhausted from holiday traveling, or maybe its because youve just gotten over a little bout of sickness that has left you a little woozy.

Maybe, as was my case a couple of weeks ago, its both.

Was I ever glad to have such an overstuffed (if not exactly well-organized) pantry, fridge and freezer. It meant that when I was tired of road food, then even more tired of eating takeout on the couch as I recovered, and ready to (gently) get back into the kitchen, I had some options that didnt require a trip to the store or an order from a grocery delivery service.

At the top of my list of thank-goodness-I-have-this ingredients are beans, cooked from dried, and refrigerated or frozen in their cooking liquid. I cant stress enough to the unconverted how much different these taste from the canned variety, and how happy youll be to have them if youve planned a little in advance and cooked up a pot. I do it every week or two, and I never regret it.

As it turns out, I had the chance to prove the difference to myself, all over again. A helpful colleague made for me a batch of a potato-bean stew, recipe courtesy of the inimitable Mollie Katzen, using canned (and rinsed and drained) pinto beans. Perfectly satisfying. Then a few days later, I made the same thing, using a few cups of beans I thawed from the freezer, plus the elixir that is almost as good as the beans themselves: the flavor-charged liquid they had cooked in.

This time, it was sublime. And thanks to that overstuffed freezer, it was every bit as easy.

Look! Eating veggie style gives you a happy face, and heres the picture to prove it.

Apparently, one of the most popular New Years resolutions for 2015 is for people keen to eat less meat.

To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.

I would desperately struggle with this resolution not because I am an offal-guzzling carnivore, but because I havent eaten meat or fish for more than 30 years. To eat less would involve having some kind of netting fitted to my mouth to prevent kamikaze spiders and insects flying down my gullet.

While I dont eat things with a face or food that had parents, I do, however, wear leather (not all over. I am not Bonnie Tyler) so am a hypocritical vegetarian, although if youd lived through the summer of 1993 living with a plastic-shoe wearing vegan, youd understand. Anyway, you lot have eaten the cow, the least I can do is honour its life by, er, using it as a lovely bag.

There are lots of reasons why people should eat less meat if the world ate 15 per cent less meat, which means abstaining from flesh for one day a week, it would mean the environmental equivalent of taking 240 million cars off the road each year. And as long as one of those cars isnt either of mine, I am completely down with that.

January is also the most popular month for people to ditch meat and fish entirely and come over to the green side, so with this mind, I have compiled a list of essential things you need to know if you want to become a vegetarian. Say goodbye to meals out that dont involve extensive Googling of menus beforehand, bid farewell to marshmallows and the best Haribo and hello to a longer life, better sex, more room in the freezer for ice-cream, less chance of food poisoning and less guilt about the environment, the supply of fossil fuel (it takes more than eight times as much fuel to produce meat protein as plant protein) and super-viruses.

Being a vegetarian isnt a mistake, its only a missed steak.
