That's a really interesting quote!
I'd never heard that story.
As for the killing of field animals in the production of food, if I was that dead set on no animal ever being killed by the conveniences of my lifestyle, then I'd sell my car, too, in fear that I may hit something in the road...and that ain't happening. I'll try my best to swerve around anything in the road, and so far that's worked great.
Either way, I'm going to be eating vegetables, so those animals are dead regardless. So, if I'm not eating actual meat, then I guess I'm still "fighting the good fight"...just not as hard.
As for my own garden, yes I try to eat as much locally, organically grown crap as I can. We no longer keep a garden, but we did for years, and for quite sometime, all my vegetables came from there. It's not because I give a shit about the field animals so much (although I do), but because my family owns a farm, and I try to support the local farmers.
