Another "Perspective" on Vegans

Apparently, another viewpoint to be fair, though I have not researched on these things, so I can't say for sure.

I would like your opinion on this.

As someone who grew up on a working farm, I can tell you that Rogan's guest is overstating the case concerning how many animals are killed in growing soybeans.  That said, his underlying argument is valid;  veganism is NOT, and never has been, a way to guarantee a "death free" way of food production.

How long have you been a farmer?

What do you sell?

It was a looooong time ago; back in the 70s and 80s.  We grew in addition to soybeans wheat, watermelons, cantaloupes and tomatoes.

And did you have to kill an animal who came in contact to your fields?

Yes.  My brother and I used to kill groudhogs, a/k/a woodchucks.  But some years after the DDT ban, the coyotes that had been extinct in our area since the 1930s started coming back and the groundhogs weren't so much a problem anymore.  We never used DDT, but we did use several commonly available pesticides, particularly Sevin.
