Another great read, thank you. I like your point about the cowardice of simply following the majority when if eating animals was a minority stance, very few people would be speaking up for it. I am reminded of my routinely cowardly behaviour in not speaking up for the animals when opportunities arise in everyday life and I look for reasons why ''it's not the right moment'' to say something -meaning in reality that I don't want the social discomfort in that moment of upsetting someone I care about or even just being seen as preachy. I will do better.

Hi Sarah, happy to hear that you like the article! I was also amazed by the different arguments that came up in the process of researching / brainstorming for this article. If eating animals was a minority stance, only absolute lunatics would speak up for it. No doubt about that.

When it comes to opportunities for advocating veganism in everyday life, don't be too hard on yourself. If you don't feel like it, don't force yourself. Everyday vegan outreach is a subtle art. One that I certainly haven't mastered myself. But I think one of the most important aspects is to identify the opportunities with real potential: these moments where people around us seem somehow open and receptive. We don't want to speak to their inner demons and cognitive dissonance, we want to speak to their hearts.

Anyway, I'm sure you could teach me more about this than I can teach you. :) Have a wonderful day, Sarah, and talk soon!

Inside your mouth tells you what you are meant to eat ! A horse has teeth for eating grass , a dog has teeth for eating meat and us as humans have teeth designed to eat meat and vegetables it really is that simple! And meat is actually delicious šŸ˜‹!

Hi James, first of all, thanks for leaving a comment. I hope we can have an honest exchange here.

Science is clear: we donā€™t need meat at all. We are actually healthier without it. A plant-based diet is the best choice not only for our own health but also to protect animals, climate, exploited humans, and the environment. Iā€˜m happy to provide sources if you need any.

If you confine, torment, and slaughter animals without any necessity - or pay other people to do it - you are a coward (I used to be, too). In my article above, I explain why. Let me know if anything is unclear and have a nice day.
