BBC World Service - The Food Chain, How to date a carnivore

The highs and lows of being with someone who loves eating meat

The highs and lows of being with someone who loves eating meat.

Can the love of eating meat ever get in the way of a relationship? 

You may have heard the phrase ‘the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach’, but what happens if the foods they eat are wildly different from yours? 

Tamasin Ford explores what it’s like to date a carnivore. Not just someone who eats meat, but someone who loves meat. Someone who has been brought up to eat meat in every meal.  

We speak to two couples whose diets can sometimes be the source of their most heated arguments to find out how they navigate meal times and social events. Can tolerance win out over frustration?
