Debt

Wednesday 24th March

The example set by young people especially who are ‘going vegan’ is noticeable to omnivores. Their noticing is the first step to thinking about one’s own habits, one’s own contribution to the ‘collective debt’.
Veganism is just one idea that rights the wrongness of stealing from others. The colonial powers stole from poorer nations to enrich themselves. Humans in general steal from animals for much the same reasons. Our thefts comes back to haunt us. Once-powerless countries become dangerous to the economies of the old colonial countries. Once-powerless animals that are used as food now become dangerous to human health. There are harsh consequences to stealing, outcomes of running up debts.
