1464:
When vegans talk about ‘going
vegan’ we are suggesting nothing less than a major lifestyle change - a
lifetime lived on a plant-based diet, wearing plant-based clothes and using
cruelty-free products. For us, the
reasoning behind all this is obvious and for most established vegans relatively
easy. To us it feels perfectly safe and
satisfying. We wouldn’t want it any
other way.
Collectively, it’s the answer
to so many of the world’s great problems. And because we feel so sure about it, we go to
great lengths to tell others about it. But,
for my part, I must keep reminding myself that for non-vegans it’s a big step. And if they aren’t yet convinced about the
safety of a vegan diet, then it’s down to us to talk to them about vegan
nutrition. We have to be ready to field
questions about protein, iron, calcium, vitamins, etc. and only then, if we
pass muster, can we get down to the ethics that drive the whole thing along and
provide the solid reasons for our boycotting animal products.
