Many of my friends are vegetarian and/or vegan...in college my roommate was vegan. I am against big industry farming. I only eat meat a few times a week and I buy my dairy and meat from the farmer's market and a local CSA group. I support local farming. I am an aspiring homesteader myself and I have an immense respect for those who embrace a self sustaining lifestyle.I recently had a discussion with a (new) vegan friend that sort of rubbed me the wrong way. She was telling me that it was unethical to consume the eggs of your own backyard chickens. I tried to explain to her that the difference between eggs produced on a commercial level and the eggs from your own pet chickens was infinitesimal, but she wouldn't have it. How is eating the egg of an animal you lovingly care for (that is going to lay that egg whether you are there or not) a crime against nature?
