1913:
Contrasts jolt people - on
the one hand we have the fit and vital individuals and on the other the
sluggish and dour. There’s a lot of illness around, obviously linked to what
we’re eating, particularly animal foods. With so much fresh information coming
through, in books and on the Net, and by being shaken by compassion, we can see
a chance to safely break free of the animal habit altogether.
The more we follow vegan
logic and the more it impacts on our own lives, the sooner we get our lives
back on track, and then want to pass the whole idea on to others. Convincing
ourselves about it all is one thing, but how do we speak instructively,
helpfully, without sounding like preachers?
Vegans can only be reference sources
- the contrast we make with conventional lifestyle is at the very least
intriguing and it’s likely people do want to know what we’re about. We seem to
have a few answers. But we mustn’t have too many, be too full-on. We have to
welcome questions, be self-effacing, even act the devil’s advocate, but do
everything we can thing of to seem ‘avoidable’ because others fear having some
unwelcome confrontation with us.
