Un-shaming the omnivores

In practice we can’t force people to think differently. And we know that without some substantial attitude changes becoming the fashion of the day we’ll get nowhere with omnivore mentalities … however we do have some pretty water-tight arguments.
No one can say it’s foolish or wicked to be vegan. Our insistence that the food is good for you and that animals have a right to a life is impressive. If that is ever acknowledged then omnivore argument goes out the window. If their argument is lost, that’s scary - therefore no omnivore wants to talk about it. They are uncomfortable with the whole subject.
As vegans we can capitalise on knowing vegan principle is a bigger and more powerful weapon than anything ‘they’ can come up with. Veganism opens up a whole side to us that was closed before, (which, in the interests of the Animal Industries, was held back from us).
Every single human on the planet (but for a handful of vegans) is uptight about losing the argument ... or about avoiding it. Does “up tight” mean we should bring on the psychiatrists? Nah, there’s no need for shrinks to sort this one out. It’s just a matter of not wanting to swallow our pride - in this case, not wanting to ingest uncomfortable information whilst not wanting to deny ourselves the pleasure of ingesting dangerous substances. It all really boils down to shame. And if that is so, then anything which could ‘un-shame’ us could beautify us.
Just to be entirely free of shame is worth a million dollars. And (in some very important, daily ways) vegans have done just that for themselves. Understandably we want others to feel what that feels like.
