I eat a mainly plant based diet from our garden ..I have turned all the landscaping into either really pretty fragrent flowers for the bees butterflies and birds or edibles...
I do eat meat about 2-3 times weekly but it is either from my own flock or from a friend who raises and butchers humanly
I was a veg for almost 20 years but really became grossly anemic ..after trying everything veg I could do to correct it ...I opted to encoporate meat into my diet but with some pretty simple rules ..humane raised humane butchering
I was never an "ethical" vegetarian and do believe that human beings should eat a wide variety of food to suit their particular health and stature
I am an ethical ominvore and very particular about how my food is raised and so that limits my consumption naturally \
fortunately I live in an area where I can do this with some affordablity or I would just be eating beans and rice
(I grow beans but have to buy rice!)
alsoI do a fast once in a while to remind myself how much I really do not need ..and in spite of a tragic few years...all that I have ..since I am not a theist ...I do not have any religious or spiritual reasons for my diet ..they are all health and environmental reasons
I hate the way animals are treated in the "industry" so I refuse to eat meat unless I have seen it's life first.
