Veganism is extreme? … hmmmm … I’ll tell you what I find extreme: What is extreme is pretending to embrace peace & tout justice & teach kindness & rally for freedom while simultaneously making violence, slavery, torture & murder a normal part of your everyday life … THAT is what is truly “extreme” by any objective measure.

So go ahead and call me & all my vegan Friends “extreme” if you wish … That’s fine by me. Just member that when you do so, you are actually calling Justice “extreme” — You are actually calling Compassion “extreme” — You are actually calling Kindness “extreme” — And you actually are calling Freedom “extreme”.

Seems to me like “extreme” is well worth reconsidering, eh?

“The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists will we be. Will we be extremists for hate, or for Love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice, or for the rebirth of justice?” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

“I will always be in favor of veganism as a minimum because I believe that sentient beings have a right not to be used as someone else’s property … If this statement make me a fundamentalist, then I will sew a scarlet ‘F’ on my jacket so that all may know I’m fundamentally in favor of nonviolence.  And when I die, may they bury me in it — so that all will forever know exactly where I stood.” ~ Vincent J. Guihan
