It’s hard for omnivores

To show why attitude change is so important, to pull this off, we first need to appreciate the difficulty in which people find themselves. If the 99%’ers are struggling to fight off their demons, (but have enough spirit to consider what we’re saying) their raw passion is essential to take that ‘leap’ ahead. Some may be angry enough that they’re prepared to do anything to be rid of the 1%’er influence. Initial passion, ten points!
But in the give-and-take of it all some self discipline is needed. Veganism might be quite straight forward in theory but the practice of it takes guts. And because we as a society don’t believe we live in an age where these sorts of major gestures are valid, where the showing of true grit is not longer regarded as important, this whole subject of ‘going vegan’ is ridiculed. And because it is not taken seriously it becomes a vicious circle. They never get to hear what we have to say because we aren’t being asked to say it, and not-hearing about it means escaping the pit isn’t a reality.
