Hi there,
I am a big fan of your recipes. I have made countless amounts of them and they never fail, but when I found out that you turned over to the dark side and started eating meat and eggs, that really hurt. How can such a strong vegan baker/chef like you, quit veganism, just because of a tiny problem. There are many many ways to stop hair loss, and for protein, don’t get me started on that! There are so many proteins that are plant based that have as much, or even more protein than meat. I know you use “pasture raised” eggs, but that doesn’t mean anything. For an egg to be qualified as “pasture raised” the chicken has to have feed that is qualified as pasture raised, the egg isn’t. Even if it was in a farm, it is a baby, nonetheless.
For fish, wild caught is just a label. All fish, except farmed ones, are wild caught anyways. Wild caught means that they drag thousand pound fishing nets, scraping the coral and capturing trillions of animals that didn’t need to be caught, like dolphins and turtles, this is called bycatch. Bycatch kills billions, even trillions of animals per year!
Chicken, or any animal, that is used for consumption is abused in the worst of ways. Even if they are free range, cage free, Organic, or pasture raised, they are treated the same way. Cage free means they are in a large stretch of dirt and sand in a building, crammed with millions of other animals. Free range means that they have 3 feet of space to roam outside in the sun. More than half of the animals are too scared to even go into the light. Organic means that they eat Organic food, and as stated earlier, pasture raised means they eat a specific type of food that consists of some (1 or 2) ingredients they would eat on a pasture, like dried grass and dandelions. As I had said all the way in the beginning, I am a big fan, will never stop following your recipes, but I ask you ever so politely, please restore peace, and go back to your vegan self.
