Do you only eat locally produced, AND in season, fruits, vegtables, nuts, and grains?
Do you ever eat exotic foods, like mango, papaya, star fruit, brazil nuts, coconuts, bannanas, coffee, most tea, ackee, bread fruit, many figs, many olives, many cactus fruits, cashew apples, many dates, cherimoya, durian (don't expect many have eaten that!), feijoa, guava, jackfruit, litchi, mangosteen, monstera AKA Mexican Breadfuit, tamarind, or an host of other exotic fruits, vegtables and nuts I didn't list?
If you do eat the exotic foods how do you justify that as a vegan? The exotic plantations are well known for the killing of snakes (that might bite workers), bats, birds, monkeys and other animals that might come and feed at the plantations.
As a responsible vegan should you not only eat what is grown in the U.S., in your local area, and only when it's in season? No strawberries in December grown in Brazil.
