I say darn good for you if you are able to claim the title vegan and not have people attacking you for Urban Earthwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506933556277171020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651256950315817154.post-28233074163168426502011-11-21T17:26:31.460-05:002011-11-21T17:26:31.460-05:00I am troubled by the sweeping generalizations your...I am troubled by the sweeping generalizations your post suggests and those it has incited in some of your readers. I have not knowingly eaten animal products or their derivatives for just about five years. That, by definition, makes me a vegan. In that time, I've helped others connect with their values and have always encouraged a peaceable approach.

It's something that I've been wanting to do again, if only for the health benefits when I ate a vegan diet.

As long as people aren't condemning me for my choices, I'm not going to condemn them for theirs. In fact, I applaud the efforts of those who manage to cut all animal products out of their lives.
