					<description><![CDATA[[&#8230;] When my first child was a baby, I read the book Nourishing Traditions&#160;by Sally Fallon.

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://arealgreenlife.com/happy-meat/#comments/440&quot;&gt;Milena&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Milena, I&#039;m so glad your grandchildren have a wise woman in their lives. We all need more access to inter-generational wisdom. Search your memories for stories to tell them, little, simple stories that don&#039;t feel like arguments or lectures, and that accumulate to offer balance to the story they hear at school (it&#039;s all just story). You can&#039;t know how or when your stories will land, but land they will, now or decades from now. Stories from a wise grandmother are riches in an impoverished world. 

So long as they don&#039;t become rigidly stuck in one view point, they&#039;ll be okay. They may explore vegetarian or veganism; it&#039;s ok to go all the way to one end of a spectrum in the process of finding out where on that spectrum you belong, and why. Don&#039;t lock them out of exploring the other end of the spectrum by generating resistance. Sorry for the lecture!! that all just kind of bubbled up...]]></description>

Thanks Helen. Its a difficult, complex topic and there are lots of angles to approach it from. It would probably take a book to approach them all. I&#039;m glad you enjoyed it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for a very useful discussion. I&#039;m a grandmother (brought up on a farm) who believes that we are meant to eat meat (raised as naturally as possible) to be healthy (see Weston A Price Foundation).  I source the most ethically produced meat I can (usually locally). I struggle sometimes to have ready arguments for my grandchildren who have lots of pressure (some quite subtle as in Science promoting sustainability) to go vegetarian or vegan. I now have some clearly articulated ideas ready for the next discussion with grandchildren.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What a brilliant article! As a nutritional therapist and environmentalist I have given a lot of thought to the pros and cons of meat eating versus being vegan, and the argument is complicated. To be a vegan without being organic is not going to help nature or the environment, plus there are many other health and nature issues with it, such as barren fields and destruction of wildlife. But your article digs much deeper still, especially when considering death and how it is part of life. We do not give death enough thought in human lives either, nor value what it can bring such as an end to suffering. My husband I and source our meat and dairy locally from free ranging grass fed beef, to biodynamically produced milk from calf at foot happy cows. If we value our own life and health, we must value the food we eat and the animals which are in our own food chain, both ones we eat and the ones which depend on farms they come from. You have covered many health and ethical issues in one succinct article. Thank you.]]></description>
