Thank you for this inspiring story. As I follow a keto-carnivore diet for years your story resonated well with me. Like you I receive these kinds of comments as documented in a story last year. Diet has nothing to do with spirituality and ethics. It is about health and wellbeing. I respect all diets. Some of my loved ones are vegan and we get along well. I share my story here to enhance the meaning of your insightful one. Nice to meet you Stephanie. I wish you the best in your health journey.
