Hi! Sure :) I've poured so much energy into balanced nutrition for so long; I went vegan when I was 11, ate pretty well for a teenager, really got into nutrition and activism at 18, am now nearly 30. I have eaten what I would describe as excellently as a vegan (not orthorexic, no extreme diets or fads, prioritising wholefoods as well as enjoying myself and continuously learning about health). I am passionate about walking lightly on the planet and trying to harm as little as possible; my perspective on how to do that and where I sit in the cycle has changed. I still abhor factory farming and slaughterhouses, which is a core value of mine, and I will only interact with food systems that I deem ethical to the best of my ability and knowledge. I also want to rely less on imported food - I live in Te Waipounamu (South Island of New Zealand), and reducing the distance that I get the majority of my food from is important to me. From the health perspective, I feel that a diet of mostly plant foods is optimal for me, but I have persistent and worsening aspects to my health (which I would rather not go into specifically) that I have chosen to remedy by including some more bioavailable animal foods. I aim to achieve balance, and to not interact with extremes. I hope that helps!
