@Tom_Nook I have gone vegetarian a while ago but before that was eating mostly veggie for a number of years (meat/fish twice a week tops! "Flexitarian", if you like). I am a very new vegetarian but a very judgemental one already. I mostly keep my feelings towards people's diets to myself, except for occasional dig aimed at my boyfriend but he can take it. He is a massive meat-eater but I cook for the both of us a lot and he'll eat vegetarian, mostly because he is too lazy to cook a separate meal but he is really into food so enjoys trying veggie meat replacements and gives me his honest opinions when we try them.
Anyway, all I am trying to say, if my hunk of meat-loving boyfriend (I think he's roughly as tall as G if not taller, but not as slim) can live not eating meat every day, maybe G wouldn't die if he tried.
On top of your excellent ideas I would add a couple more: when they order a take-away, she should get herself a veggie option; when they go out, they should try some vegetarian fine dining experience, maybe that would convince Geoffo (I am sure in a cosmopolitan place such as London there are great options); lastly - eat vegetarian on her mental health days/G going to work days. She could even surprise him with a tasty veggie dinner!
There is a vegetarian/vegan recs thread here on tattle as well:

Vivera, definitely! The kebab bits are lovely. It's mostly soy protein with some flavourings. Other things from the range are more processed but still tasty. I normally have one of their substitutes once a week as a treat, but always with a healthy salad or some grilled veggiesWeirdly, I actually grew up in East Asia. Meat alternatives have always been a thing. It was only popular in the west like 5 years ago. It is quite well known for it to be ‘unhealthy’ and ‘fake’ because people are essentially adding flavouring to make it taste and feel like meat. So think chemical and flavouring, I think I keep associating meat alternatives as this. Things could have changed though, maybe I will try it one day. Any recommendations in terms of brand?
Vegan and Plant Based Recommendations and Reviews
I thought I'd make a thread to share my favourite plant based products (inspired by @Emmapism). I was vegan for a long time and now I'm vegetarian but mostly plant based. A few favourites I could start with (I would need some time to make a full list :ROFLMAO:), starting with a few easy to find...
