Information is optimism

Saturday 8th May 2010

So much becomes clear when you see it through vegan eyes - the horror all around us, the brilliant breakthrough that plant foods represent, the issues take on a fresh dimension and therefore it would be good if we became vegan just for that. But, hey, that is almost certainly what is happening right now!
Young people (and a few older ones too) might already be there, already getting their clarity by using technology adeptly. Even very young people may already know more than we older ones do. And that may well include knowing about important things better than we do. Here’s the potential - people already networking information, practising how to do it for the day when really important information is being passed. And here with this cluing up, we are more in control of our personal future. And that brings a sense of optimism.
Once we are surer of our ground (and we’re no longer being poisoned by misinformation and meat) self-confidence grows and shows itself in our demeanour. Who knows but it might attracts others. Once we have a truly educated generation, confidently addressing the big problems of the day, keen to network what they’re finding out, then we’re half way to solving our main problems, and that’s half way towards a repairing and optimistic society.
