RE: Why I am a Recovering Vegan turned Homesteader
Thanks for sharing your experience with veganism. One of my pet peeves with some people in the vegan movement is that they automatically shoot down the use of animals in agriculture even if they are treated humanely and not even killed but just used for milk or eggs. I feel that these types hurt movements like permaculture that ultimately are striving towards many of the same objectives.
It is refreshing to hear someone who tried it and came back to eating some animal products. It takes courage to share learning experiences publicly.
I totally agree with you. I did hold tightly to my views of not using animals in agricultural system until I got involved and realized no system is healthy without diversity. It's important for me share as I have learned so much through my journey and experience. I do feel animals play a vital role in healthy ecosystems.
