You are welcome though I say them because I feel they are an accurate observation. 

Its crazy how basic most people relate to this platform. Its just sorta like FB for them and somehow they get magic free money....

Yet the truth is there is SO much going on behind the scenes. All that "magic free money" for example that we get paid wildest exist without investors like our self. Then people like to complain about those investors (who are actually responsible for our free money) making money them selfs.....

There is a lot of politics, economics programming and more that make this a reality. It just seems like anytime you have a group of humans together its difficult, full of drama and endless problems hahaha. 

Anyways I am pleased that you are thankful but I'm just a direct guy and say it the way I see it. Thanks for being someone that I can respect and actually learn something from. 

As to the food question one of my main arguments for being NOT vegan is that in winter climates animals are a staple and important source of food. 

We have lots of chickens who lay eggs in the winter if they get properly fed and have a semi warm home. Goats will also produce milk all winter if properly fed and warm enough. 

Also you can always kill a goat or chicken if you really need some food. Then when you have that on top of potatoes, onions and dried fruits, etc its quite a lot of wholesome food options. 

We also have nut trees, we can, freeze and preserve foods in many ways. Also green houses can grow lots of food even in the winter time besides in like canada and northward. 

Its also possible to have indoor aquaponics or hydroponics. We don't do that cause its not necessary but its very doable. 

Because we are a well known and successful humanitarian operation we also get a lot of food donations from stores that would otherwise throw it out. So we not only feed tens of thousands of free meals with that but also enjoy it our self. 

There are SO many ways to live sustainably or at least more sustainably and still enjoy a high quality of life. 

If you have checked out many of our posts you will see us feasting almost every day. We have at least one feast a week that is better than most peoples thanksgivings!

Hope to get to know you better here on Steemit. I have an ability to find solutions and to improve efficiency of just about anything. If you would ever like feedback or help on anything let me know.
