So I plant and thin. Ultimately even the chosen are going to be ripped from the earth and eaten, of course, but it's nice to think they had a chance to 'experience' Full Carrothood first, sprinkled by rain, warmed by sun, feeling little breezes in their green hair.<BR/><BR/>We eat animal products these days. Almost never beef or pork (for health reasons) but we do turkey and chicken and seafood, and milk (low-fat) and eggs and cheese. But we get locally produced, organic, free-range, all that, and when we buy salmon we get wild, not farmed.<BR/> <BR/>After about ten years as a veggie I suddenly could not stop thinking about tuna and it went downhill from there. :o) Still, it's better the animals had nice lives, not the penned up, unable to move, standing in their own crap, artifical light, hormone-stuffed, antibiotics-stuffed feedlot kind of wretchedness. Also better for those who consume them.<BR/><BR/>**eggs from free-range hens reportedly have about half the cholesterol of eggs from chickens-in-a-box, and most of that cholesterol is LDL**<BR/><BR/>Okay, I rambled.

I even apologize to a wasp as I swat it. <BR/><BR/>This year, one of the tomato plants I brought home to plant had a low sucker (sounds almost human) that the garden center said I should pull off and throw away. So I pulled it off, but could not briing myself to throw it away. It's now growing nicely and nearly as tall as it's mother.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18112453678556775060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-16019726585202528842007-06-27T09:27:00.000-07:002007-06-27T09:27:00.000-07:00The only way I can get through this process is bit...The only way I can get through this process is biting my lip and thinking of what's on the other end--if I don't do this, I can't have crisp peas or luscious tomatoes or fresh corn.
