To be vegan is to have the guts to deny the fairy tale of the harmless animal product.
To be vegan is to deny the psychological distance between the flesh in the styrofoam tray at the supermarket and the someone- not the something- who that meat came from.
To be vegan is to live fully and honestly with yourself about how animals are treated, and it is about your not taking a place in that exploitative system to the greatest extent possible.
Veganism is not only an affirmation about how we want the world to be, it is a lived form of protest, and our reminding people that everything is not quite right when it comes to how we treat animals. A form of everyday heroism in a world gone terribly wrong, veganism is your refusal to participate in a system that is ethically bankrupt. It is bravery in a time of cowardice.
I think that is part of the problem right there for most people. It is easier to take the path of least resistance than to man up and say enough is enough. I never thought of myself as particularly brave but I guess I must be. I am happy to put myself out there and do what is right once I am shown what is wrong. Most people do not have the guts to stand up and be counted. They prefer to be sheeple and follow the crowd. Well not this vegemite. I will no longer be a party to animal cruelty and I will no longer be a sheeple when it comes to my food choices. If what I eat, or refuse to eat, makes others uncomfortable then big fucking whoop. Get educated and grow a heart.
Made Flaky unfish Fillets for dinner, very yummy and also made Raw Strawberry Cheesecake which is cooling in the fridge. May have to have some for breakfast.
