katiacambia asked: Thanks for the reblog of my omnivory defense on my farm blog! I too am mostly vegetarian but I often feel a need to come to my meat-eating defense!

you have NO right to be righteous about food choices. IF YOU ARE AWARE AND IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS you should join programs attempting to help people in food deserts learn about food, learn about gardening, learn about organic produce, and HELP THEM AFFORD IT.
