I truly appreciate your blog; I see I'm a bit late commenting :)<br />I am neither vegetarian or vegan but a "pescetarian" who also eats dairy products. I stumbled upon your blog while looking for information about vegetarianism and veganism and am so happy I have. Despite my family and bf being opposed to my *slowly* changing diet, I am doing my best to educate myself about the vegetarian lifestyle. God Bless you for sharing your knowledge with others and I look foward to reading more of your postings. <br />YvonneVonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16184711025198112508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278392160035702550.post-33767537262048180122012-08-10T21:11:52.296-07:002012-08-10T21:11:52.296-07:00Link this to DairyDude.

I'd be verrrry interested in his thoughts once he read this. :) And I'd love to have a chat with him!<br /><br />Although, to be fair, perhaps he thought he was being clever. I've found that when you call people out on being rude, they always default to "Oh I was just kidding."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278392160035702550.post-12266982006970603402012-08-09T23:29:12.627-07:002012-08-09T23:29:12.627-07:00Hey Debbie!

That's where community really becomes important. Online groups and veg societies that meet in person for events and outings. Good question about the grassfed cows in our area. I don't know how many of them are actually just meat cows and not dairy. But their end is the same..<br />And yes, it's a hard issue to face. I understand your position.<br /><br />This is a good book to check out for someone in your situation as far as living with those who may not share a concern for animals raised for food: Living Among Meat Eaters, by Carol J. Adams. http://caroljadams.com/book_livingamong.html<br /><br />I don't own it though, or I'd loan you mine! lol<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. :-)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169879181467099939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278392160035702550.post-12783277492762058592012-08-08T20:11:14.539-07:002012-08-08T20:11:14.539-07:00Great information Valerie! I was wondering about ...Great information Valerie! I was wondering about our Humboldt grass fed cows.......I was hoping Humboldt babies were treated different....not taken away from their mom so early.....I guess this assumption is not right. Sadly, I am one of those people that feels it is too much to bare...to see...to hear....overwhelming. I am very interested in Veganism but can't quite seem to get there. I think it is hard to embrace a particular lifestyle when the other people in the household are not interested in embracing the same lifestyle, in becoming enlightened.....frustrating..... I love the wallpaper for your background!

Separation from their babies, and slaughter. <br />But, the good news is is that if you like the taste of cheese(like I and my husband) there are some great alternatives available now.<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169879181467099939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278392160035702550.post-23125166505484885272012-08-07T18:44:05.518-07:002012-08-07T18:44:05.518-07:00Wow!

I don't drink it because the idea of drinking milk intended for a baby cows just seems wired. Lol But now that I know this, I'm proud not to drink milk. I don't eat cheese for the same reason.<br /><br />Great post, Val.

But I have a hard time believing most people will be persuaded to care if they are simply attacked and demonized<br />for their choices.<br /><br />Are you a Texas native?

I absolutely love your humble response, and I aspire to be like this through my journey of veganism. After 4 years as a vegan in Texas, it has been quite the adventure ;) Thanks again!VfranVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03281105554926749926noreply@blogger.com
