A government food advisor has suggested that eating meat on special days only can help to curb obesity.

He also said that dramatically reducing one's intake of meat would also help prevent climate change.
"Let's go back to where culture has been for thousands of years, which is meat is an exception," the Daily Mail quoted Lang as telling the Telegraph.If you were growing meat yourself, it is an incredibly slow process and killing and eating an animal is a special day.
"At Christmas if we were well off we had beef. It was a big deal. We killed an animal as an exception, for a feast," he said.
Lang said that he was not suggesting we only have meat once or twice a year, but no more than once a week.
In medieval times, there were a large number of feast days to celebrate saints or recognise the changing of the seasons.
