I became a vegetarian at 11, & even tho my doctors forced me to start eating meat again as an adult I still eat very little animal products & try to eat locally or ethically raised meat & eggs/dairy. But even when I was actively a true vegetarian I stuck w/good quality leather for boots & hiking shoes, wool & silk blends for clothes, organic cotton, because synthetic or “vegan” clothes are much more polluting & have a short life span compared to the real thing. + sheep need to be sheered 🐑
