    But to catch some downvotes as well:

    You can’t claim to be an environmentalist and not be vegan at the same time

    Thats still unpopular but at least it’s true. :)

      So have a few hens out back eating all the ticks in the yard and supplying me with eggs is hurting the environment in a way that is terrible? I’d have to look more into that, but really they surely can’t be as gaseous as cows.

        Well, there are still valid ethical and health reasons not to eat their eggs. Chicken feed always contains soy from rainforest-areas as well. But if your backyard eggs are the only animal products you use, then I’d say that you’re already doing pretty good.

          I used to have them when I lived in an area that didn’t care. Was hoping to go back to having them when I retire one day. Didn’t expect to hear they were a bad choice. Thanks for the response
