669:
Eating plant foods is not just about healthy eating but
about taking a stand, making a statement. I decided to ‘go vegan’ because of
the need to liberate animals and encourage people to liberate themselves from
their involvement in the cruelty of animal farming. The animal liberation
struggle is about humans doing something for the greater good, part of which is
the ending animal slavery.
Apart from all the good it does, environmentally and for
enslaved animals and for human health, going vegan, plays a significant part in
an unfolding drama; for the first time in history we are free enough to examine
our own temperament, to reflect on our innate violent nature and attempt to
make ourselves become less violent. We can start by not eating animals. Today
we have a leisure society in which we have some free time to devote to great
causes and the freedom to think for ourselves. By helping to bring about rights
for animals we give ourselves a chance to improve the quality of our lives and the
chance to save our own souls.
