This year's new book looks incredible, yet again, and I look forward to the 2025 new stage show, very imaginative and very relevant. But right now choices of more time on your land and nurturing a health issue seem to be best ... and I would think no rush to get a show out 2025, as 2026 or even later, if need be, will be just fine.

I am sorry to hear that you have health problems and I hope you quickly gain good health and strength. May I ask who advised you to eat meat for health? Most doctors have no training in nutrition and many ‘nutritionalists’ are heavily influenced by the massive and powerful meat/dairy/egg industries. It is very hard not to be influenced by them in the western world.

Dr Greger is a leading light on nutrition, he bases his knowledge on rigorous, scientific findings. He really goes behind the research in terms of who is funding it, the scientist’s backgrounds, methodologies etc.

https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/meat/

You can search his website for articles and videos on specific health issues.

I have a good friend who raised a few lovely pigs on his land but he couldn’t put a knife to their throats to kill them. He sent them to a terrifying and painful death in a slaughter house. I’m curious if you will feel able to kill your pigs and hens yourself?

I know we all live with contractions but breeding, farming and using other animals for their flesh, milk, eggs etc would seem to go against a lot of your ecological beliefs and practices? I ask this with genuine curiosity.

I wish you all the best. Good Health and Happiness!
