Vegan or Meat Eater.

In response this story, I am a meat eater in moderation and I try to source my food locally whenever possible. I also prefer to eat a so called “clean diet,” avoiding most processed foods. You are so correct and hopefully we all (vegan, meat eater, & everyone in between) can agree that factory farming is a terrible thing, not only for the animals involved, but also for our personal health & our environment. However, there is another issue related to our fruit, vegetable, corn, soy, wheat etc. that really weighs on my mind too and that is the chemicals involved in the process & how they harm us as consumers, those responsible for caring for the crops, & our water sources through run off from the fields. I feel like we are contributing to animal exploitation being meat eaters, but we are still harming others & participating in decline of human welfare being vegan. I’m not sure what the right answer is, but I do wish we could move towards a more local movement. I’d love to see more transparency and less big money corporations involved, so we can improve our overall social welfare regardless of if you choose to consume meat or vegan fare.
