What it’s all about … (07/07/14)
There is still quite a bit of confusion out there as to what “being a vegan” actually means. So if you would, please allow me to simplify …
*Even though veganism IS about respect & integrity & compassion, being vegan is NOT about “being radical” or “being liberal” or “being hippie” …
*Even though veganism IS the best way to live a longer, healthier & happier life, being vegan is NOT about diet or health or nutrition …
*And even though veganism IS the most responsible way for us humans to honor our planet and its priceless resources, being vegan is NOT about global warming or saving the environment.
No, being vegan is actually none of these things …
So what does “being vegan” truly mean?
*Being vegan means being anti-slavery, anti-torture & anti-murder … period.
*Being vegan means being pro-Freedom, pro-Justice & pro-Life … period.
*Being vegan means believing that it is NOT acceptable to hurt, abuse or intentionally harm animals … period.
Got it? Good … Now get it!
(P.S. I — along with roughly 200 million other vegans worldwide; not to mention the BILLIONS of innocent animals scheduled to be killed this coming year — thank you from the bottom of my heart.)
“To be a non-hypocritical animal rights activist is to be vegan … To be an environmentalist is to be vegan … To be a true feminist (who could never support the exploitation of the reproductive system of any species) is to be vegan … To want ‘Peace on Earth’ that is real & consistent is to be vegan … To believe in non-violence is to be vegan … To Love animals truly & sincerely is to be vegan … To be deeply compassionate is to be vegan … To be truly opposed to slavery is to be vegan … To be an awakened Human being is to be vegan.” ~ inspired by B.
