Making leather boots for harsh Northern winters

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

Hey there. I have heard of that yes. We all have to make decisions for ourseles as to what diet is best for our bodies and our minds. I was a vegan for many years as I couldn't support factory farms. Now that I have my own farm, I know the animals I eat are treated well throughout their lives. Coming from a Native ancestry, the diet I need to follow in order to maintain health (and in fact even proper hormone function) requires high fat. However, others can live a healthy life without that diet. We are the physical culmination of the genes of our ancestors have passed down to us, and we are all unique because of that. I am glad that you have found a diet that works well for you. Withing my values, if I am going to take a life, I should try in as much as I can to ensure the whole animal is used. This is one of the benefits of knowing how to tan :)

Thanks for your comment. I very much appreciate your comment and I am not going to tell you what might be good for you. Only concerning the "culmination of our genes... " I can say that's right, however there are a lot of vegetarians and vegans which come from a very strong meat related family, but once they have made the decision to refrain from eating animal products they are fine with it. Most people nowadays who do that come from big cities and are against industrial agribusiness. Living on the countryside everything looks different.

Genes and parents are related but not same. Your genetic material does come from your parents...but has nothing to do with what they eat. Genetics has to do with millennia of conditioning and selection. That is what I am referring to by culmination of genes.

Got it. Is there no way to overcome such conditions? I am not really in all that theoretic argumentation about vegetarian food.

That would be a great question for a geneticist :)
