Supporting a local small farmer helps to solve all kinds of environmental, health, and ethical problems that even a vegan diet doesn't completely deal with. You can cut the industry out altogether, and, if you are going to eat meat, eggs or dairy, you can make sure the the animals are treated humanely and the farmer is dealing responsibly with the environmental aspects... i.e. good manure management. Also, lots of animals die when they plant and harvest the wheat, corn, soy...whatever so I think it important to keep in mind that living takes life, no matter how we eat. This is a complicated issue for sure, but I think we are seeing compelling evidence right now that it is more important than ever to consider all this stuff. I'm glad you decided to write a bit about it.
