Agriculture also destroys topsoil, according to Keith. Keith was an early public advocate of the U. In a Boston Globe human interest story, she said, "I like knowing that I'm supporting the local economy and not corporate America.

You can find a critique of those ideas here Keith objects to transgenderism because it seems to her to go against her theory of gender.
But what does an empiricist like me know. I am of two minds about this. I would have to say that Keith should be allowed to speak, but with the proviso that people can protest her views if they so wish.

Animal welfare is important, I am an animal my welfare, safety, health matters. Human animals deserve the same compassion as any other animal, including carnivore animals. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.

I went to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, which is a completely different kind of medicine than Western medicine. He was somebody I respected. He was much older than me. He was somebody who I would call an elder. I went to see this doctor. He took one look at me.
What are you doing? What do you eat? I have no idea who I am at the end of this conversation because I was a vegan. That was my identity. Who are you when your ideology crumbles? It feels unclean. I can eat it with a plastic fork. On the way home, I got a can of tuna fish and I did it.
I took that bite and it all changed. It was like my entire body was alive for the first time in twenty years. I know a lot of us have had that experience. They call it chi in the Chinese medicine version. It was amazing. It was like being recharged in a little plug socket or something. That was it. There was no turning back because I could see that he was right. It was a very hard year and a half to do that.
I have a lot of sympathy for vegans. I get these emails all the time from people who are very upset. Their bodies are falling apart. They need somebody to hold their hands. I do what I can to hold their hands. I know this is a hard thing. We can be participants once again rather than destroying everything.
There is another worldview that you can embrace this fad that does honor the animals and honors the Earth. Maybe it was all a lie because animals are dying to feed you no matter what you eat. How would you honor the animals? We cook the food and we eat it. We never veer from that. We always do wild seafood. We never veer from that as well. Is there a part of the honoring of the food that you find to be important to you or not?
There are two parts to that. That the food is being produced in a way that builds topsoil which is absolutely key. If your food is building topsoil, you can eat it. It means there are pigs that are roaming fruit orchards or through the forest. It means that the chickens and the ducks and whoever is producing your eggs are out as well eating on grasses or through woodlands. You have to have ruminants and grasses together in some way or trees and animals as well.
Every single living community is that. They can buy boots and coats and all that and the money circulates. We know the replication factor when you buy locally is important.
If you do it, you feel good about it. It saves the planet. It helps people, it helps you, all of it. I never forget that death is involved in every life, no matter what you eat. There are dead animals. I have no idea what happens next. None of us know, maybe nothing, who knows? My body will certainly be recycled. We celebrate as long as we can. All of that is my attitude toward that.
There are the things that I do in my own life and I try to support it. These problems are way bigger than any of us are going to solve just by buying the right thing. That last little segment you went into there was absolutely beautiful and so poetic.
Thank you for that. Recognizing where we are in the whole spectrum of the universe and the Earth in general and recognizing our role and what it is.
Trying to come up with honoring the animal and honoring the vegetables. Does an oyster have any more or lesser feelings than a head of cabbage? Nobody knows. Honoring all of that food is important. Our energy or our chi assumes another form.
I certainly have had my own experiences that tells me that there are other realms and other beings, who mostly care about us.
I love talking about it with people who are curious about it and who have had their experiences. That was my experience too. I wonder what if this is true. A vegan trying to crawl out of the vegan hole. Does it matter as far as eating that first bite a tuna? Is it an egg? Where do you stand on dairy? I do great with dairy. When I eat good quality, big, fatty dairy, it dramatically helps my pain level. My body likes it.
