Friday 29th August
We need to strike a balance between letting people make up their own minds and giving them the information they need to make informed choices. Animal cruelty and human health are probably the most vital elements in persuading us to make intelligent shopping choices. When people understand the reason for change, not to alleviate guilt but to be constructive, they see what veganism is all about. If change is entirely voluntary it’s more likely to remain for the long term. If anything is forced, change might not be sustained. Even if the animals are eventually freed and the environment saved, unless it happens in the right spirit we will eventually revert back to abusive habits. Especially when things get difficult.
Freewill is central to most people when they choose what to eat. Even if vegans know the danger of eating certain foods, we can only suggest change not force it, or manipulate it, because that undermines freewill. We have to let each person make up his or her own mind, and let them make any changes when it feels right for them, which brings us back to how we say things. Vegans have to make their ideas both convincing and enticing.
