956:
Eating plant foods is not just about healthy eating but
about taking a stand, making a statement. I decided to ‘go vegan’ because of the need to
liberate animals and to be in a position where I could encourage people to
liberate themselves from their involvement in the cruelty of animal farming. The animal liberation struggle is about humans
doing something for the greater good, part of which is the ending of animal
slavery.
Apart from all the good it does, environmentally and for
enslaved animals and for human health, going vegan plays a significant part in
an unfolding drama; for the first time in history we are free enough to examine
our own temperament, to reflect on our innate violent nature and attempt to
make ourselves become less violent. We
can start by not eating animals. Today
we have a leisure society in which we have some free time to devote to great
causes. And we have the freedom to think
for ourselves.
On a purely selfish level, by helping to bring about rights
for animals we give ourselves a chance to improve the quality of our lives and
the chance to save our own souls.
