Every vegan is different, although they have to be careful what they say, some have said it's ok to eat road kill, for example. Again, they use a certain interpretation of "exploitation", I've lost count of the number of times David Attenborough has used the term when describing how all other life forms on Earth survive. Of course none of them get hung up about morals
Interesting. I was thinking of food though. There are some experimenting with forest gardening locally (I don't mean sheep farmers). There is even vegan permaculture.......time will tell
If permaculture, vegan or otherwise, can reverse the UK's growing dependence on food imports then that will be something to celebrate.
Over the past 30 years food produced in the UK, as a percentage of the total needed to feed the population, has declined from 74 to 60 percent.
More than 18 million tonnes of food are imported through Britain's sea ports each year - do we really need to import chicken from Taiwan and strawberries from Egypt?
We could all do more to nurture increases in domestic food production - make a start by reading the label!

This is where it all falls to piece for the vegan argument (dependant on the priority), certainly as it presently stands.
I was being sarcastic. I’m a vegetarian and I hug trees given half a chance. I eat fish, eggs and drink milk but no cheese using animal rennet or gelatin derived products.
But, I believe feedback makes better amplifiers and DBT are the only way subjective claims can be verified.
I was talking to a local sheep farmer, his sheep graze the thrift on the estuary, there is a pylon where cormorants roost, he said he occasionally shoots one, I asked what they tasted like, a bit fishy, he said.........
Thrift? Had to look that up! A perky pink coastal wildflower. In Welsh it is called clustog fair, Mary's pillow.
Attached is a beautiful display of Scottish salt marsh thrift at Loch Gruinart, Islay
I also checked up on the sheep:
"All Gower Salt Marsh Lamb is fully traceable and are born on the farms where they live and spend most of their lives grazing the salt marsh, the marshes contain a natural abundance of Samphire, Sorrel, Sea lavender and Thrift."

It's becoming evident that some people have problems being vegan long term. Whatever your reasons for being vegan it's not worth your unnecessary suffering, how can that ever be right?
Vegan , I'd love to.
But , can't afford the fancy organic food stores.
And , Walmart vegan selection is either rotton , dated , or unavailable.
In the summer , even summer squash and tomato's are of dubious quality here..
Tennessee is the 3'rd most obese US state. Meat rulez here.
When I had cultivatable land , my family was 75%+ "vegan". Where I am
now , fast food rules.
