Jordy...Stirring the pot tonight aren't you? Back in the 80's I read Tim Robbins 'Diet for a New America'. Subsequently, went vegetarian for several years. Got sick, added eggs and milk and small bits of fish, and meat. I have been taught how to gut a fish, have shot and skinned venison, and was at a farmyard (age 5) on slaughter day. I can provide 'flesh' if my family needs it. We've incorporated soy, almond, other 'whole' proteins into our diet.
I understand your point. We all want what is best for critters, planet and our wallets.. Heck, I wish every animal destined for someone's dinner plate was raised 'free', we didn't over farm our oceans, and we could all be fairies and unicorns while on vacation... But that isn't happening soon. Little changes, over time, yield results...preaching at the choir..not so much.
