How do!
July 27, 2011 at 9:18 am
Hello, nice to find that such a forum exists!
I'm a vegan and like most vegans not a believer in organised religion (atheist). I'm also (as my name would suggest) a skeptic and surprisingly that's what I find people react most negatively to rather than my lack of religious indoctrination. I find that people are used to disagreements with regards to religion but mention that the homeopathic remedy that "works for them" is nothing more than a placebo and you can upset a lot of people, religious or otherwise.
Don't get me wrong, I don't go out of my way to upset people but when I see people spouting incorrect information on to the net I have an insatiable urge to correct it - this is the reason I avoid Yahoo Answers!
Anyway, nice to be here and I look forward to some interesting discussions.

*waves broccoli* Hi! Welcome.

Yet to comment on my first thread (other than this one), it's hard to know where to start. Probably for the best since I should be working right now

Do your dietary decisions extend into or from the realm of food production or ag?

Can you be a bit more specific? Not sure what you're referring to. If you mean eating fruit and veg grown using pesticides etc. then yes I probably do. I try to reduce the harm I do to other animals as much as is practical but other than suicide there's no way of avoiding all harm.
