RE: Why I am a Recovering Vegan turned Homesteader

in #food7 years ago

Wow, well that is quite the adventure. I have been vegan for most of this past year, and meat free for 6 1/2 years. For years we have raised rabbits for meat for others. Actually, up until this past september. My story is a little different. While raising these rabbits we also offered them processed and ready to freeze. Toward the end of our time raising I started to notice something different. Because I was so close I started to really notice the breath leaving the rabbit. That sort of experience was something that shaped me. I don't really talk with others about what I eat, it often comes with someone vomiting opinion and speaking like a lifelong super nutritionist haha. Humanely chemical free by products dont bother me as much and may be revisited down the road, but i dont think the meat though. Adventure on! Cheers!

I can totally relate about feeling the breath leave. We raised goats this year (a friend's weathers) and it was deeply impactful to get a know creatures before taking their lives. I am as intentional as possible but death never looses potently.

I resonate and am following you now.
