Coming from a country where meat has had everything to say for survival, as nothing will grow here except grass, I find it rather unreal that people can be vegans and the like, though my particular other is a vegan, and she has opened my eyes to it, still eating lots of meat here though.

These days it is possible to be living of green stuff and the like here, but you don't need to go far back in time here to find out that whole villages could die of starvation, as most food has been from sheep and fish.

Whales have been a very important meat source for the people here through the ages, a group of whales could mean the difference between death and survival, we still kill whales some dolphins too, I'm not protecting it more than saying it is an important part of our culture and there are lots of them whales left in the sea, and that it tastes damn great.
But I'm not against killing whales at all, as long as everything gets used.

I'm an omnivore coz I doubt it will be possible for me to abandon meat while I live here, but I have in mind to atleast try it out being a green stuff eater for a decent while sometime.

I respect all ways of living as long as no one is preaching bout what is the best or right thing to do.

Cheers
