I have my own shame-riddled experience with gout. It involved a summer of too many oysters, pinot grigio and a lot of midday jogging. The result was an angry red pinky finger that burned with shooting pain every time the air conditioner blew cool air across it. I also appreciate how one's passion for regenerative ranching can make you a bit bullish on meat eating. But swinging the other way can have its own sustainability--and health--pitfalls too. Relying on heavily processed plant proteins, or high carbohydrate meals fueled by monoculture isn't much better for the environment or one's blood sugar. In my mind, there is something elegant to moderation. But then again, I am trying to live like an enlightened omnivore. Thanks for your openness and honesty. We have to keep challenging assumptions so that we can find a common ground. And I'm enjoying reading along on your journy, no matter how often you write. Thanks for sharing!
