The ultimate cause or just a story?

In many ways if the food thing can be handled, veganism has a lot to offer. Not only, but mainly, it attracts adventurous people who are looking to build a reputation for integrity and who want to become energetic activists.
There are a lot of good causes to get involved with but none more widespread and universal than the plight of food-animals. The food industry uses and abuses so many animals in every country of the world, and almost every single human on the planet buys their produce and is therefore implicated in the abuse of animals. There couldn’t be a more pressing cause to be involved with.
No other crime is committed against so many and so coldly. No other crime is so hushed up. Animal Rights is the last great crime to go virtually unreported … to the extent that people can still plead ignorance of it and get away with it. For most people showing any sensitivity to the plight of food animals has never been considered – it just isn’t discussed or thought about let alone acted on - animals are there, we farm then, we eat them, end of story.
