RE: My Journey to a Plant-Based Diet, and the Benefits I’ve Experienced
What a heartfelt and honest post @rainbowrachel. I have to admit cheese is my biggest weakness. That said by having our own organic homestead I eat plenty of fruit and veggies . The only cheese I eat, is that I make myself from my beautiful goats organic milk. I used to be vegan but with a family (including all the parents) living with us it is not easy. However I absolutely refuse to eat anything that is not lovingly grown on our own organic homestead. What happens in the meat/chicken industry is horrific. I believe that unless the western world is prepared to raise their own "meat" in a free roaming and compassionate environment then they have absolutely no right to actually eat it.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment @buckaroo! For those who are raising their own animals and making their own cheese in humane ways, I definitely think this is OK, and pretty cool. The horrors of the meat and dairy industry are the real demons in this situation, not necessarily the products themselves. Hopefully more people will awaken to this madness and decide it's not worth supporting these industries.
However, the negative physical effects of cheese still clearly show up in my own body, so I stick to vegan cheese. Luckily there is a vegan cheese company here in Chiangmai (Chiangmai Bread) and they make and deliver AMAZING vegan cheese and other products that are incredibly affordable and insanely delicious! yum!!!
Thanks for your meaningful comment!
