Non-omnivore bliss

It may be true that some people are embarrassed by how amateur we seem to be as a lobby group. It’s likely the time has come for us to develop a more sophisticated presentation of our arguments.
Our subject gets some mass media coverage but not much. But we do have our own media and it’s accessible - books, DVDs, web sites, blogs and magazines. We are told all we need. It leads to ‘going vegan’, doing without about 40% of all food items on the supermarket shelf (because they contain animal products). We may seem like amateurs but at least we know what we stand for, and that’s a strong lobbying position to be in. By giving the exploiters no encouragement there’s a completeness in us. It makes us feel good to be exercising some self-discipline for such a worthy cause. It may seem like a handicap, our no-touch-animal principles but we know about the benefits. They’re obvious to non-omnivores but not obvious to those who aren’t.
