I’ve been vegetarian for almost 10 years, but then I got kids and we didn’t want to make separate dinner each night, so now I also eat wild game, e.g. pheasants, red deer, wild ducks, etc. Am I just a regular carnivore or does there exist a word for my weird ass choice?
I still haven’t eating any meat from conventional or organic farms for more than 10 years.
My parents became vegetarian when I was 3 and so, I became vegetarian myself. They are now occasionally white meat felxitarians but I’ve remained vegetarian all my life. Genunine question, (I’m not trying to be an ah here) if the diet was good enough for you why not for your kids? I still managed to grow to be 6’3’’ tall with that diet after all. XD
I think it’s 1000’s times better to eat wild game than industrial farm. Kudos to you! Meat eating is still meat eating at the end of the day, but presuming you get your veggies in you’d be an omnivore :P
Of course, you are right, omnivore. I still get my veggies, haha. My wife never became a vegetarian, and I’m the only vegetarian in our extended family, so I’m minority here and I didn’t really wanted to take the fight. Also, I try to hide the fact that I don’t eat industrial meat, from my kids. I don’t want to influence them in anyway, and if they ever want to become vegetarian, I hope it’s not because of my influence but because of their own reasons, if that makes sense.
We have an overpopulation of red deer in our local area. I’m buying it from a local estate and they only have the stock they have. If a product is sold out, it’s sold out until the hunting season begins again. I actually don’t mind that in any way. I absolutely hate industrial farming, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with regulation of wildlife, and it helps in preserving biodiversity.
Tons of wildlife meat goes to waste each year in my country, and it’s instead used for other purposes, e.g. Fertilizer.
Besides that, for those who want to eat meat, it’s seems illogical to me, not eating the meat we have at hand before starting to buy meat from industrial farms. I believe it tastes better in every way than what you get from industrial farms.
Oh right, family… I get it. I don’t know how old your kids are but I don’t think you should hide where their food comes per se, more so if it’s the ethical choice in comparison. But what do I know, raising kids is complicated, you do you. Anyhow, any reduction in consumption of factory farmed meat is a good thing in the end. ദ്ദി˙ ᴗ )˙
