An escape tool

1609: 

Communicating our message is made doubly difficult because we know that any sort of pushy approach will inevitably fail. As vegans we have to act in such a way as to not put people off. We have to let them tell us when they’re ready to listen. And when they are, we need to start from scratch.

There’s no better place to start than by identifying what familiar food products use ‘caged-eggs’ in their ingredients, and then to point out what happens to hens living their whole foreshortened lives in cages. Part of this is to untangle the misinformation the Industry puts out. But to our rescue comes on-line education, which makes face-to-face instruction unnecessary. When any of us need information, we can look for it ourselves. The Internet opens a DIY door, directing us to web sites, blogs and books. The sort of information we need, to make an ethical assessment of the situation, is now readily accessible. From there, we can make all the decisions about what to do, for ourselves.
