Comments on: THE VEGETARIAN MYTH by Lierre Keith [Book Review/Radio Interview] http://corksoutdoors.com/blog/the-vegetarian-myth-by-lierre-keith-book-review/ The Leading Multimedia Wildlife Conservation Magazine Sun, 06 May 2012 05:11:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Michelle http://corksoutdoors.com/blog/the-vegetarian-myth-by-lierre-keith-book-review/comment-page-1/#comment-1942 Michelle Sun, 06 May 2012 05:11:19 +0000 http://corksoutdoors.com/blog/?p=700#comment-1942 Your stereo-typing ignorant statement "every strict vegetarian, especially one whose personal identity is labeled “Vegetarian” has always had an angry quality about them" is offensive and false. The healthiest type of diet varies for each of us. In my case, becoming Vegetarian actually helped clear up many health issues that medical doctors were unable to figure out. People often ask how I look so much younger than my actual age and I attribute it to my diet and lifestyle. I feel an over-whelming empathy for the plight of animals but I don't preach to anyone and I do my best to live in peace with all. My father was a farmer and hunter with a heathy respect for life. I don't have a huge problem with small scale farms that treat their animals with proper care. I even still buy eggs from local farmers where I know conditions are decent. However, I am outraged about factory farming methods!
