The comfortable truth

In our culture, when specialists tell us to eat foods derived from animals, we listen and take note of what they say. We want to believe them, especially if they are okaying those yummy, rich animal foods we like to eat. That’s why their advice is easy to follow and why it isn’t such a big step, to think it’s okay to actually kill animals.
Animal Rights addresses the ethics of slavery and killing. It’s a thorn in the side of almost every animal eater who has ever been made aware of ‘animal rights’. If the authorities didn’t want so badly to keep the spotlight off animal issues altogether, they’d love to issue warnings to avoid animal advocates who, they’d warn, are dedicated to subverting society. They’d love to advise people to beware this cult of eating solely plant-based foods. But they’d draw attention to it and make an issue out of something they most definitely want to keep as a ‘non-issue’.
Only by ignoring what vegans are saying can animal slaughter continue, and consumers continue to do what they’ve always done, buy what they’ve always bought and mix with ‘others who are undisturbed’ by it all. It’s a comfortable world if you accept the comfortable truth!
