The Danger of Judgement-Making


2044:

Even in 2017, in this well-informed Western world, there still aren’t that many vegans around, especially in rural areas or countries where veganism is poorly understood. A vegan not only needs company (other vegans preferably) but for all the best reasons wants to inspire others to have confidence in veganism.

If our numbers aren’t rapidly increasing, that might be down to bad press coverage. But the other force working against us is ourselves! Our image as morally judgemental people doesn’t look good. We certainly have a moral message, but it’s more about adopting an intelligent 21st century approach to life. It’s about animals, environment, malnutrition amongst our own community and poorer people of the world, and it’s a design for the future. As activists we need to have these extensions at our fingertips, to supplement and ameliorate the moral heaviness of our message
