And as for the argument in your article, I don't eat meat anymore simply because my teeth situation sucks and vegetables have gotten too expensive along with everything else. I wish my tomatoes would hurry up but it will be the second week in July. I so love Heather's nonentry-related comment and love her for writing it. I want that fishin’ boy.

I always thought of permaculture systems as including various animals, not only for food products but also as important parts of the whole system. I'm a vegetarian (but eat lots of fresh eggs and dairy) but have no problem with people eating meat. Especially wild caught meat, or humanely-raised animals. It's agribusiness that's messed up. Humans evolved to eat meat, isn't that why we have canine teeth and eyes on the fronts of our heads and such? I don't know, but I really don't like to get all in anyone's face over what they eat. I admire people who can raise or kill their own food. And if you don't want to, you don't have to. It's that simple. Wow, I had no idea there was such a link between veganism and permaculture.

I have no problems with ethically raised, local meat, esp. given that animals can be raised on grasslands that might not be best suited to other crops. The key to me is the "ethically raised, local" part. I kinda mused on that topic over at my blog.
