All of the above. I do not believe in veganism above all other approaches to sustainable eating. Buying locally from farmers who care about the wellbeing of their animals is far better in my opinion than buying quinoa from Peru, where growing it has trashed forest, or buying vegan spread which contains loads of palm oil. I will happily eat roadkill meat. When I was in Albania, we ate pork most nights, but the pigs were all very healthy, well cared for animals. They often ran around the garden during the day. The self subsistence approach to food in Albania resulted in sustainable food which was some of the tastiest I have ever had.
