I, like many others are in a position of forced
complicity. To be healthy, I need a wide
variety of vegetarian foods. If more veganic
products were available, I'd switch to them.
Unfortunately there's almost none around.
I won't accept moral responsibility for
something I don't have the power to change,
like collateral deaths in crop growing.
