Leading the guiltless life of conformity

1275: 


By the omnivores' being so easily seduced by safety-in-numbers, they're able to get over their guilt, simply by going with the crowd.  Even if they suspect they're swimming against the tide of the coming age, they believe that they're still in step with the march of the day.

If we’re not so easily seduced, we may have jumped ahead already, and be changing fast, and moving towards veganism and disassociation from the crowd. Understandably any such ‘unauthorised change’ is a threat to the Leaders of the Food Industry. They probably realise that the world is approaching a more expansive age, and suspect that the coming age may eschew violence and embrace a more intelligent approach. And that won’t be good for the arms manufacturers or meat producers.

Today, this ‘expansive awareness’ still seems far off. We still resort to war and allow ourselves to be poisoned with the secretions and corpses of animals. Vegan food won’t eradicate this entirely, but it helps to move things on, to dissolve the ‘lump’. Veganism breaks open the belief that we eat meat for strength or that we can kill to gain advantage. It also takes our support away from those powerful entities who we want to become powerless.

If we're not helping to sap their strength (by boycotting their commodities, mainly animal food and clothing) then we’re active in condoning what they do. By helping to boost their spirits, omnivores open their hearts to them. They spend their money with them. And they do that best by pretending they aren’t aware how their money helps to keep them thriving.
