Scale

879: 

Because this is such a big subject, any move towards it requires careful consideration, and that whole process can’t be hurried. Each individual who considers this course of action immediately sees what they’re up against, what all vegans are up against - a huge weight of public opinion. The collective mind is set, on using animals. From birth, we are wrapped in the warmth of normality. Wrapped to the extent that we don’t want to make waves. And as for radical lifestyle changes which are so far away from the normal, like not eating animal products. That would be both radical and very un-normal

A vegan is an agent of change. For us, to grasp the scale of the problem: where attitude is locked, diet can’t change without doing psychological self-harm and empathy is in short supply amongst many billions of humans. The problem is how to shift that. How to stop support for abattoirs and how to do it as a matter of urgency. Omnivores need to change. Enough said. But now I come to how vegans should change, but in the next blog.
