Lynda Hallinan: I'm going vegetarian - except for bacon butties or when hubby cooks

If you woke up this morning beset with regrets, not to mention a churning stomach and a thumping head, don't blame that last round of tequila shots at 3am: blame those do-gooding ancient Babylonians. They're the ones who, thousands of years ago, invented the silly idea that we should begin every year with a list of noble resolutions: paying off debt, resowing the grain fields, sacrificing stuff to the gods and remembering to water the hanging gardens more often.
