A little more on Subway - I have had a disagreement of sorts with a very good friend on this issue. I see her point clearly and completely. She believes that bad food is bad food regardless of its vegan claim. As anyone who has read this blog knows I am a very big advocate for eating whole foods. I love Micheal Pollens mission statement - Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. And I would amend it even farther to "only plants and lots of them". My friend believes that fake meat and questionable bread is not a nod for vegan awareness but a quest to add profit from the plate. I agree and yet I stand by my previous blog too. Life is seldom black and white and the shades of gray are often uninviting - but I find myself firmly in the middle here. I wish there were better options for all people wishing to choose cruelty free food, healthy food and convenient food - and all this at once. Clearly we aren't there yet. But we will be. Order a sub AND keep demanding quality. Or refuse to eat at Subway and let that be your statement - the main point is to make a statement of purpose and live your life from this position, let it be known that you refuse to accept the status quo and "good enough for now" is simply not good enough. I appreciate my friend for her principles and for engaging in an open minded debate that made me think a little more on a subject I have given a great deal of thought too - it's that little bit more that expands our borders - physical, emotional and spiritual.
Peace,
Eric
