This week we sit down and get a little controversial. We are talking about veganism and hunting, or more specifically, how our perspective of hunting has evolved- especially in Rebecca's case, since she has been plantbased for several years. Our relationship with the natural world is something that comes up quite a bit in our daily lives. It is something we have spent many hours discussing, and we probably will continue to devote time to it going forward. We choose to take a nuanced approach to this particular segment of the conversation, because we believe there is no black and white answer, as convenient as that would be. We consider the philosophy of our beliefs, and we also look to science to inform our decisions.
