NICE! Read and RSed! BTW, you need some graphics for your profile!!!

I became "veganish" about a year ago. I eat eggs from my voluntary (free-ranged on a regular basis) chickens and plan to have goats some day for dairy. I think these can be positive symbiotic relationships and so not against the ideal of veganism. I also eat road kill. (JK) Most people don't understand that veganism isn't about not consuming any animal products, but rather not contributing to the cruelty and exploitation of animals. I understand that some people think my relationship with my chickens is exploitive, so I call myself veganish. And when I'm traveling, (which is most of the time!) I'm just vegetarian. It's a spectrum of conscientiousness. Eating meat is a choice, but if you choose to, I encourage people to be conscientious about it by hunting/raising/slaughtering their own meat.
