i once spent about a year in a village on vanua levu, fiji's second largest
island. many people there live 9 out of 10 days on a vegan diet - on the
10th day they usually managed to catch some fish or freshwater prawns. but
basically i agree with skye that Any diet that conceptually excludes part
of the riches nature offers is out of balance - and this imbalance is
unavoidably transferred onto one's enviornment.



>To live in a way that minimises suffering -
>1. Do not buy any food grown/processed outside your immediate bioregion.
>2. Do not buy any products made by companies who have operations (or
>contrived subsiduaries) in free trade zones in Latin America,
>Phillipines, India etc...

i wholeheartedly agree and would like to add
3. i try to educate others who didn't ask for it only through provocative
example, and Never with 'you'-sentences.
