I look at it as having a Christian element. We have, “all the seed bearing plants” to use to create a genesis of mankind. We literally have to create a metamorphosis or genesis of humankind to lift us out of the apocalypse on earth we are creating out of our constant consumption and need for more and more material things. Westerners are deluded if we think environmentalism will save us from a doomed future. Do what you can but right behind us is a whole third world who for the majority wants to adopt our lifestyle. To me going vegan is a step on the chain of becoming godly humans who eventually will reverse original sin and not eat or take from an environment that we make our perfect Eden thru mind over matter. We can eat our way thru dark times ahead till we can find nourishment together and become the light nature needs. We need to feed more with less and part of this is eating light not death. More herbivores in 2025 please!
What about artisan cheese? I am quite fond of it. In my opinion, the stinkier the better. Although my staple is Cabot Hunter Super Sharp. It’s designed to be for the masses (no lactose).
What about from a pet goat? They are fantastic companions when I’ve walked in the woods with the goats (and dog) my aunt/uncle have on their in their middle of the Maine woods farm I find them to be more amusing than dogs to kids and “the kid in me”. Is there no middle road?
Veganism is the recognition that all animals, whether goats, dogs, or wildlife, are sentient beings deserving of respect and freedom. It’s about building relationships based on compassion rather than exploitation, allowing animals to live their lives on their terms. Veganism embraces coexistence, where humans cherish the companionship and individuality of animals without taking from them—just as we would with our beloved companion animals.
Spot on. Personal taste never justifies causing harm. Gustatory pleasure is fleeting, but the suffering behind it is real and lasting. Ethical choices should prioritize compassion and justice over momentary indulgence. True satisfaction comes from living in alignment with our values.

Gustatory pleasure is not a moral consideration!
