Thanks for your passionate response - ...Hi Stella,<br /><br />Thanks for your passionate response - and thanks for reading my blog! : ) I'm not sure that any vegans are even reading my blog (sigh), but my plea was really to them to start a dialog -rather than a diatribe - if they really want to convince people to stop eating meat. Not that this approach will always work, but people are usually more willing to at least consider someone's argument if they talk about it - rather than yelling it. I've just seen a lot of ugly attacks out there on flexitarians particularly and think it's so counterproductive to the point of the whole animal rights movement.<br /><br />Any vegans (or anyone else) out there who disagree. I'd love to hear you sound off!Diary of a Smart Black Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395373765694725103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097771495068877700.post-10959949932090049752010-03-26T17:20:14.279-04:002010-03-26T17:20:14.279-04:00Good Day, this was interesting.

I like reading people's views on diet and lifestyle.<br /><br />I'm a flexitarian, and though I adore my vegan and vegetarian lovelies, I can honestly say that I don't give a hoot if they deride my diet/lifestyle. I live mostly vegetarian and some weeks vegan, and, yes, if I get a craving I run to my local fish monger or free range farm and buy a bird. I eat this way for both health as well as animal rights issues. This way of eating is just as real, legit, and well thought out as the vegan or vegetarian way. Oh, and I don't have to supplement with b12 or anything else for that matter! <br /><br />By the way, I'm not mad just passionate feeling right now (smile)...Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441053969652689705noreply@blogger.com
