Access to information

Having ready access to reliable information changes everything. Vegan information makes for new possibilities. We can “Google” anything, and with practice, we can weed out the kosher information from the rubbish. We can usually find just what we need - information, ideas, inspiration - at the click of a mouse. What occurs to many of us now is that there’s no excuse for ignorance.
Decades ago, we would spend all day in the library, scratching around for vital information. Now, it takes no time at all. Most information is reliably sourced. When we find answers there’s a thrill. The same thrill you get when, as a child, you struggled with maths homework and an older brother showed you how a formula worked and the pain of the homework is replaced by a ‘eureka’ feeling. Learning by Internet has been made possible by imaginative people setting it out for us. They know how information should be communicated without being boring and dry.
In the area of Animal Rights there’s a lot we can usefully learn and there’s much pleasure in the learning of it. Each day another vital gap is filled in our education on a subject that is so important. What we have to learn can now be learnt efficiently.
We can pick and choose vegan issues from information banks set up by a lot of altruistic people who want to give our vegan experiment the best possible chance of succeeding. In the past, there was too little reliable information; where once we had information kept from us, now we’re swamped by it! But now at least we have choice to take it on board or ignore it.
