Muting "vegan"
I'm not a carnivore, but I want to be when my farm gets to the point where we can be eating our own lamb, beef and pork. Veganism contributes to more animal death, pesticide and water usage, and fossil fuels than animal ag. Also, the health advantages are at best controversial if not out right false.
Good on you for doing your own farming/ranching. There are right ways and wrong ways to grow and deliver what one eats, and it sounds like you are taking control of that variable for your self and your community. That’s commendable.
Don’t you think it’s when prescriptive attitudes and volume delivery take hold that the ways humans eat become corrupted?
I know healthy carnivores and healthy vegans. I know unhealthy carnivores and unhealthy vegans. Polar bears (mostly carnivore) can do well and gorillas (mostly plant based eaters) can do well, right? Like them, humans should probably eat according to their zone as much as possible.
A great book is "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" by Weston Price. Humans should indeed eat according to their zone, but on the spectrum of carnivore to vegan, the most virile primitive races were omnivore or carnivore.
Thanks for the rec! I’ve been meaning to read this for a year or so.
I’m a big fan of Nourishing Traditions, by Sally Fallon Morell, President of the Weston A Price Foundation. You probably have it, but if not, I highly recommend as well. Great #bookstr 
I love that book. I read everything except the recipes, cover to cover, about 5 years ago. There's a lot of good information in there.
you got it. veganism is dangerous to health. there are no plants that provide B12, creatine, taurine... so many things missing in plants it are low in bioavailability that vegans are mostly ill. fun fact: 84 percent of vegans revert to meat.
