I'm a bit unclear on your position. Are you saying that your diet doesn't consist of food dependent on farm subsidies and grain? If so, what
does your diet consist of? If you're living off of tubers, nuts, berries, fish, and wild game, that's pretty cool.
I also want to point out that vegan/vegetarian diets are far better than the average North American diet in terms of use of subsidies and the impact on the environment. This is mainly because of the amount of grain required to raise meat vs. eating the grain directly. ...not to mention the impact of waste byproducts created by animal producers.
