ヴァレンティン・トーマスさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ヴァレンティン・トーマスInstagram)「I wasn’t born a hunter. ⠀ The lifestyle that I have grown into is vastly different than what I could have imagined years ago while living in London. I understand this lifestyle isn’t for everyone, it took along time and a lot of discomfort for it to become my lifestyle, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I have never wanted my platform to push that lifestyle on others, but rather have always wanted it to spark an important and necessary discussion about the origins of our food and our human connection with it. ⠀ Everyone should make their own choices in food, but those choices should be as informed as possible given the wide variety of inputs that our modern food system and consumer preferences have. Be open minded, embrace other views (especially if you consume meat and seafood!), get as much information as possible, have those difficult discussions about what you eat and how it got to your plate. ⠀ It is normal to feel emotional about living creatures losing their life for food. I never enjoy pulling the trigger on a fish (or a bird), but I choose to put myself outside my comfort zone rather than encouraging unethical and environmentally damaging practices. I choose to eat less meat, but to eat it the right way. Even if it’s challenging emotionally and physically. ⠀ I wasn’t born a hunter, I became one, because the only thing that equals my love for food is my love for animal and our planet. ⠀ 📷 @j.kowitz Best polespear in the world @redtidespearfishing」1月20日 4時17分
